Rouven Pleads Not Guilty To More Child Pornography Charges

A German-born illusionist whose Las Vegas Strip show was canceled has pleaded not guilty in federal court in Nevada to additional child pornography charges.

Jan Rouven Fuechtener's attorney said Thursday that a judge on Wednesday scheduled trial June 6 on receipt, distribution, advertising and possession of child pornography charges.

Convictions on all charges could get the 38-year-old performer decades in prison and up to $1 million in fines.

Defense attorney Jess Marchese says he's got an April 19 date to argue for Fuechtener's release from jail pending trial.

Fuechtener performs under the name Jan Rouven. His "The New Illusions" show at the Tropicana resort closed following his arrest March 16.

He's accused of using the computer name "Lars45" to collect videos and images depicting sex acts with kindergarten-age children.
