Racine County child porn arrest; man facing multiple counts
The Racine County Sheriff’s Office said a 64-year-old man was recently arrested for multiple counts of child pornography.
During the sentencing hearing, the judge considered Kolacinski’s prior conviction in Racine County, where he had four counts of invading privacy – for sexual gratification reduced to one count of disorderly conduct.
The underlying allegations in that case were that Kolacinski was caught secretly photographing children changing their clothes in a designated area during a local theater performance. For this conviction, Kolacinski was sentenced to 10 days in jail and ordered to pay a fine.
