NOT GUILTY: 63-year-old West Bend man enters plea, accused of downloading 8,000 child porn images

WEST BEND (WITI) -- A 63-year-old West Bend man has pleaded not guilty to a series of felonies -- accused of downloading child pornography -- 8,000 images in all.

A criminal complaint says Kenneth Crass told police he is retired and started looking a child porn out of curiosity, and then discovered he liked it.

Police searched his computer and discovered the downloads after first seeing his information on a sharing website.

Crass told police he didn't know why he liked looking at the child porn -- saying he would never consider actually interacting with a child in that way.

Crass faces ten felony possession of child pornography charges in all.

Crass is out of jail on $5,000 bond. He has a court hearing scheduled for February 25th.
