Recruiter charged with child porn, impersonation

A Marine recruiter who worked in the Green Bay area is charged with using information from his recruits to solicit intimate photos from their female friends.

Prosecutors say child pornography was also found on Sgt. Andrew Curran's home computer. The 27-year-old recruiter is charged with five counts of child pornography and two counts of misusing personal information. He's being held in the Brown County Jail on $100,000 bond.

Investigators say Curran told a potential recruit from Ashwaubenon that he was using the recruit's personal email and Facebook passwords for background checks. Authorities say Curran used that information to solicit the man's female friends for nude photos.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette says a conviction on the charges carries a maximum 137 years in prison and fines of up to $520,000.

New Prague Hoax, AGAIN?

With a community still reeling after a school shooting hoax, officials say New Prague Area Schools received a bomb threat Thursday, which forced student evacuations.

According to the school’s website, “New Prague Area Schools has received notice of a bomb threat in the Middle School and the CEC building. All Middle School students are being evacuated to the ice arena. When the police give the okay students will be returned to the buildings.”

A student from the middle school said they were evacuated around 8:30 a.m. As of about 9:50 a.m., the school was cleared of any threat and students were able to head back to class.

On Wednesday, a 12-yr old male student was taken into custody after allegedly making two prank calls, reporting a school shooting in progress with two injuries.

The student’s calls prompted 12 surrounding agencies to respond to the school, including ambulance and medical personnel, and a mass evacuation of all students.
