(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man has pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual exploitation of a child for allegedly possessing child pornography.
43-year-old Lonnie Johansen entered the plea Monday in Brown County District Court to two counts of sexual exploitation of a child under the age of 14.
District Judge John Weingart set a jury trial for June 9-11th.
Weingart said the first sexual exploitation charge is an off-grid violation and under Jessica Law could carry a 25-year to life sentence in prison. He said the second count is a level 5 felony and carries a sentence of 31-136 months in prison.
Johansen was arrested last October following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.
He remains in the Brown County Jail, held on $500,000 bond.
