Bail has been set for the Manitowoc man accused of possessing child pornography.
47-year-old Steven J. Wester has yet to furnish his $5,000 cash bond on ten counts of Possession of Child Pornography.
The Manitowoc Police Department began investigating Wester earlier this month after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a report of a photo depicting a naked male child being uploaded from a computer in Manitowoc.
When police arrived to search his home, Wester asked to speak with his lawyer but allegedly said multiple times that his “life was over.”
As a part of his bail, Wester was ordered to have no contact with anyone under the age of 18 and to not possess any internet-enabled devices unless he is supervised, and it is for work purposes.
He is due back in court on December 30th for his initial appearance.
