Mansfield Man Gets 15 Years For Child Rape, Porn Conviction

Investigators later office found several images of child pornography that had been captured with the cameras seized from the defendant. The two children seen in the images on the defendant’s camera were later identified.

Both children were later interviewed. Although one of the girls would not make any disclosures, the second young girl revealed that the defendant had taken pictures of her and had put his fingers in her vagina numerous times, the DA's office said.
