Talk about it

A former county man was sentenced Monday in Pierce County Circuit Court to three years prison for possession of child pornography.

Allen C. Clausen, 46, now of St. Paul, formerly of River Falls, was also put on three years extended supervision by Judge Robert Wing.

“No question this is a serious offense as it exploits children, and young children at that,” Wing said.

Incident

The charges stem from an incident last November, when, according to the criminal complaint, Clausen arrived home from work, and was met by River Falls police and agents from the Wisconsin Department of Justice, Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI), who wanted to talk him about a couple of matters. Clausen agreed and the interview was moved to the River Falls Police Department.
