Jere Robert Hansen, 63, owns a successful private accounting practice in Casa Grande, AZ. He is a member of the school board. He serves as an official at youth soccer games. By all accounts, Hansen is a respected member of the community.
No longer.
On Thursday morning, detectives with the Arizona Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force served a search warrant on Hansen’s business, looking for child pornography. According to authorities, Hansen had several items of child porn in his possession.
He now faces 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. This is a class 2 felony in Arizona, and punishable by 10 to 24 years in prison.
It's always most jarring when a seemingly upstanding member of the community - someone you'd least expect - is caught for something like this. Especially when he had such close contact with children. Thankfully, his charges are extremely serious, and he will be spending a long time behind bars, where he belongs.
