Placeholder Image
MONROE - A New Glarus teen, charged with multiple felony counts related to a child pornography investigation, made his initial appearance Monday in Green County Circuit Court.

Braden T. Schettler, 18, is charged with three counts of possession of child pornography by a person under 18, a class I felony.

Schettler appeared with his attorney, Ronald G. Benavides, before Circuit Judge James Beer.

He was given a signature bond of $5,000. Conditions of his bond include that Schettler does not possess or use computer or electronic devices for storing photos or videos, nor have printed images of children.

The judge also allowed Schettler to have 30 days to find a new phone - one that does not have a camera.

A preliminary hearing was set for 3:30 p.m. Aug. 11.

The criminal complaint was filed on May 10, and alleges that Schettler possessed digital images of children engaged in sexual acts.
