KROC News reports that Ethan Charles Olson pleaded guilty Thursday in Fillmore County, Minnesota, to four counts of possession of child pornography. The plea deal dismisses 28 other charges. Sentencing is set for January.

Olson, 30, of Canton and formerly of Eyota, was charged with 32 counts of possession of child pornography in March of last year, according to court records cited by the station. KROC reports the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension began looking at the case in August 2024 after receiving multiple cyber tips from several online platforms, all linked to the same user in Olmsted County. Investigators tied IP addresses associated with Olson to residential addresses in Olmsted and Fillmore counties, the station reports.

The station says Olson already had two convictions for the same crime in Olmsted County: probation in 2017, then a seven-year prison sentence in 2019. The Fillmore County plea leaves him facing sentencing on four counts early next year.
