Bail was set at a half million dollars cash for a former Ripon man facing multiple charges of possession of child pornography and child sexual exploitation. Twenty one year old Talin C. Ross made his initial Fond du Lac court appearance this week on multiple charges. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 24. According to a criminal complaint an arrest warrant was issued after Ross fled the state in October with a 15 year old Ripon girl. He was arrested by the FBI in Arizona.
