Former Ohio trooper indicted child pornography charges
HEATH, Ohio (WCMH) – A former Ohio State High Patrol trooper has been indicted on charges related to the possession of sexually oriented material involving a minor.
According to court records, Anthony Pagan, of Heath, is facing three counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor and one count of pandering obscenity involving a minor. The charges stem from an incident that occurred on Aug. 9, 2024, when Pagan allegedly downloaded sexual abuse material.

Pagan, 23, was arrested on Jan. 30 after the Heath Police Department received reports from Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children, where a cybertip originated from Dropbox. Detectives executed a search warrant, reviewed the material, and confirmed the user account information provided matched an iCloud email address and two IP addresses matched with Pagan.
A grand jury officially indicted Pagan on Thursday and concluded that he also surrender an iPhone14 and an iPad Air, properties 'instrumentally involved' in all four counts of the indictment.
The OSHP said Pagan is no longer employed with the division after being terminated on Feb. 6.
