Child Porn Conviction Leads To License Revocation

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has accepted the license revocation of an attorney admitted in 1988.

In March 2015, Attorney Switalski entered guilty pleas to ten felony counts of child pornography. An additional 22 counts were dismissed but read in for sentencing purposes. In June 2015, Attorney Switalski was sentenced to ten three-year prison terms, to be served concurrently, each followed by five years of extended supervision. Attorney Switalski is currently in prison.

He had been  “a school teacher and coach at Newman Catholic High School in Wausau.”

 Wausau Daily Herald reported on the March 2015 conviction

 A former Newman Catholic High School teacher and coach was convicted Monday of 10 counts of possession of child pornography.

Michael Switalski, 51, of Wausau taught religion, law and history.

An additional 22 counts of possession of child pornography were dismissed and read in during the plea hearing in Marathon County Circuit Court. Those charges can be considered at the time of sentencing.

Investigators searched Switalski’s home and found 95 photos and a dozen videos showing naked children in various poses, according to the criminal complaint. He was charged in March 2014.

Switalski is one of hundreds of customers worldwide who bought videos from Toronto company Azov Films and received the videos through the mail, according to the criminal complaint.
