SANDUSKY, Ohio (AP) — A state trooper in northern Ohio has
been indicted on a charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.
The State Highway Patrol put Sgt. Ricky Vitte Jr. on leave Wednesday after he was indicted.
Vitte has been under investigation in Sandusky County since late last year.
The Sandusky Register reports that a boy told social workers that Vitte showed him pornography videos
about five years ago.
A sheriff’s report says Vitte told the boy’s mother he was teaching him about alternatives to sexual
intercourse.
Vitte has denied the allegations. A message seeking comment was left with his attorney Thursday.
