United States Attorney Matthew D. Krueger of the Eastern
District of Wisconsin, announced that on July 23, 2019 a federal grand jury
returned a two-count indictment against Bernard J. Trokan (age: 53) of
Hartland, WI.
Trokan faces charges alleging he possessed and distributed
child pornography contrary to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 2252A(a)(2)(A)
and (a)(5)(B).
If convicted of all of the charges, Trokan will serve a
mandatory 5 years in federal prison and up to 20 years in prison.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation-Child Exploitation Task Force and by the Waukesha County
Sheriff’s Office. It will be prosecuted
by Assistant United States Attorney Megan J. Paulson.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of
guilt. The defendant is presumed
innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government must prove him
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
