The local man facing eight revised charges of possession of child pornography in a plea bargain that dropped 10 previous counts, plead guilty to all charges last week and will await an April sentencing date. Thirty-five year-old Evan Ladewig pled guilty to 8 of the original 18 charges, each involving the possession and transfer of explicit photos of preteen girls involved in sex acts with adult men which he loaded to a cloud based data service last May. The service, Synchronoss Technologies, monitors their data storage for such content and notified authorities who then contacted Garnett police.
Each of the counts carries as much as 11 years in prison. Ladewig is set for a sentencing hearing April 22nd at 10:00 in the morning in Anderson County District Court.
