The former chief executive of the Padonia Park Club in Cockeysville is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday for a plea hearing on child pornography charges, according to the Baltimore County State's Attorney's office.
Ira Charles F. Rigger Jr., of the first block of Thurkill Court in Cockeysville, has been free on bond since his arrest June 17. Rigger, 56, and his family have owned the swim club and child care center on Jenifer Road for decades. According to police and court documents, detectives seized a laptop computer and another computer from his home that contained photographs of nude young girls.
In court documents, Rigger is accused of downloading illegal images over the past five years. According to the documents, Rigger would delete the files after viewing them. He was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of possessing child pornography with intent to distribute.
Kathy Angstadt, interim CEO of the club, said Tuesday that Rigger's financial stake in the company is in the process of being "removed" and that he has not drawn a paycheck and has been banned from the property since his arrest.
