Two men convicted on child porn charges; each will spend 20-24 years in prison

Two men will spend at least 20 years in prison after being convicted on child pornography charges in unrelated cases in Crawford County Common Pleas Court.

Chad R. Myers, 38, Mount Gilead, was found guilty Nov. 28 on four counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony, according to records from the Crawford County Common Pleas Court Clerk's website.

The former Galion resident was sentenced to 20 to 24 years in prison and will be required to register as a Tier 2 sex offender, meaning he must register with the county sheriff every six months for 25 years. The court also required him to forfeit all illicit pornography-related property.

Myers was indicted Jan. 18 on 66 counts of pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor, a second-degree felony; and 36 counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, a third-degree felony. The other charges against him were dismissed, according to court records.

The case involved 19 victims, Crawford County Prosecutor Matt Crall said in January, at the time of Myers' indictment.

"These are all minors that we have identified here in the county that he had photographed himself having sex with or some type of sexual activity," Crall said.

On the same day, Gary Painter, 52, Galion, also was convicted on four charges of pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a second-degree felony, according to court records. Eleven additional counts were dismissed.

Painter was sentenced to 20 to 24 years in prison and must forfeit all illicit pornography-related property, including cell phones and electronic devices, according to court records. Like Myers, he was designated a Tier 2 sex offender.

Crall said Tuesday that the two cases are not related.
