WEATHERSFIELD TWP., Ohio - A Weathersfield man who pled guilty to child pornography charges back in December has learned his fate on Tuesday.

Seventy-two-year-old Harold Bennett was sentenced to 180 days of house arrest followed by five years of probation on seven counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor.

Additionally, Bennett is not allowed to use any electronic communication devices or social media and he must register as a Tier 2 sex offender twice a year for the next 25 years.

The charges stem from a child pornography investigation back in June of 2023 where Bennett was arrested. Prosecutors say he had downloaded pornographic images of toddlers and infants.
