MINNEAPOLIS — An Olmsted County jail deputy pleaded not guilty to federal charges of producing distributing and possessing child pornography. Mathew Richard Adamson, 45, of Rochester, also pleaded not guilty to coercing and enticing a minor for sex. Court documents allege Adamson produced child pornography involving barely pubescent girls over eight years beginning in 2015. After entering his plea in federal court, Adamson was released pending a pretrial hearing in June. Meanwhile, Adamson also faces local charges in Rochester from a polices sting in November. He was accused of attempting to solicit sex from an undercover officer who he was led to believe believed was a minor.
