N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – A Tuttle man has been found guilty of various child pornography charges in federal court.

54 year old Calvin Bernhardt was charged with enticing a 14 year old minor from the Philippines to engage in and produce images of sexual conduct, and had the youth send him the photos. The US Attorney’s Office says Bernhardt was also attempting to go to the Philippines and meet with the young girl to have sex with her. Prosecutors also said once Bernhardt found out he was being investigated, he contacted the girl’s mother, asking her to delete any images found on the girl’s cell phone, and asking her not to talk to law enforcement.

Bernhardt was convicted after a four-day trial. No sentencing date has been set.
