SAULT STE. MARIE, MI-- A Drummond Island man has been found guilty on child pornography charges.
The Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Robert Henning, 67, in July of 2015 on a report that he was downloading child sexually abusive material. A search warrant executed at Henning’s home uncovered more than 7,000 photos and videos of child pornography on computers and hard drives.
A two-day jury trial ended in 50th Circuit Court Thursday with a verdict of guilty on ten counts of child sexually abusive activity and ten counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
Officials say detectives from the Charlevoix County Sheriff’s Office Computer Unit were key to obtaining evidence in the case.
