WI Church Employee Arrested On Child Porn Charges

Milwaukee’s Fox affiliate reports:

A Racine County day care worker – a woman parents trusted with their children – has been fired after she was arrested Tuesday in a child pornography investigation.

On Tuesday, investigators executed a search warrant at 30-year-old Crystal Lachman’s home in Union Grove. The Racine County Sheriff’s Office said she admitted to sending and receiving child pornography on the Kik app and was arrested for one count of possession of child pornography.

For nearly two years, she worked at the Bright & Beautiful Christian Child Care Center in Union Grove. The lead pastor of the church that runs the center said she is no longer an employee.

The church’s pastor has issued a statement:

As you heard, on Tuesday February 18th 2025 Racine County Sheriff’s Department arrested Crystal Lachman for one count of possession of child pornography. Crystal Lochman held a float position with our Center and worked for the Bright and Beautiful Child Care Center (BBCCC) for about 23 months. All ties have been severed with Crystal Lachman and BBCCC. We plan on having a meeting with representatives of the BBCCC, the Union Grove Methodist Church, and the Racine Sheriff Department in the near future.
