An East Palestine man has been indicted on 17 child pornography charges earlier in January.

A secret indictment was filed January 8 for 74-year-old Robert Rogers charging him with 17 counts of pandering obscenity involving a minor or impaired person. Rogers was booked in the Columbiana County Jail January 13.

According to an indictment, all 17 of those charges stem from an incident from June of 2024 when Rogers was allegedly in possession of child pornography.

Rogers is set to be arraigned January 30 at 1 p.m.
