Child pornography legal proceedings in Minnesota

Overview

Recent legal developments in Minnesota involve the sentencing and plea agreements of individuals charged with child pornography offenses.

In Pine Island, 21-year-old Landon Elias Rudolph was sentenced to one year in jail and 10 years of probation following guilty pleas for the use of minors in sexual performances and child sexual abuse material. The case stemmed from a Zumbrota Police Department investigation into Snapchat communications.

In Rochester, 39-year-old Larry Allen Black entered a plea agreement to avoid federal prosecution. The agreement includes a prison sentence of more than 11 years following charges related to the possession of child pornography and interference with the privacy of a minor. The investigation was initiated after a cyber tip regarding material uploaded to a Google Photos account, which investigators verified contained 372 images of child sexual abuse material.
