Woman Convicted For Production Of Child Porn

A Minnesota woman who was promised $100,000 from a North Dakota man in exchange for producing and providing child pornography has been convicted in federal court.

A jury found 35-year-old Roxanne Merrell of Cottage Grove guilty on two counts of production of child pornography. Authorities say Merrell took the photos for Travis Guenthner of Washburn.

He pleaded guilty last year to seven counts of child porn and was sentenced to life in prison. Merrell is the second woman to be convicted in the case.
