Owner of Fong's Garden in court on child porn charge

OCONOMOWOC (WITI) -- A well-known Oconomowoc restaurant owner has pleaded not guilty to possessing child porn.

Tommy Lin was in court on Monday, January 13th.

Lin is the owner of Fong's Garden restaurant -- a dining mainstay in downtown Oconomowoc.

48-year-old Lin has been charged with possession of child pornography.

As part of an effort to find those sharing child porn, police say they identified files downloaded inside a home -- including at least 100 videos involving child pornography, and over 1,000 images. Investigators estimate the pictures depicted children as young as four years old.

In court documents, Lin said he did not know watching that type of pornography in one's own home is illegal.
