A change in bond conditions was approved by a judge on Tuesday and a former state trooper charged with possessing child porn was allowed to post 10 percent of a bond originally set at $25,000 cash-only.

Roger D. Ogden, a former trooper for the Missouri State Highway Patrol, is also allowed to use his work’s iPad for internet for work purposes only, returning the iPad to the facility each evening. He is to have no other possession of internet- capable devices and no contact with anyone under the age of 18.

The change from $25,000 cash- only to allowing 10 percent was approved with no objection by prosecutors. Ogden was no longer listed as being in custody at the county jail later Tuesday.

The action occurred in the courtroom of Judge Ann Hansbrough.

Ogden, 49, of Platte City, is employed by KCP&L. Court records show a security investigator for KCP&L asked for and received copies of the records in the case, including the complaint and probable cause statement.

The probable cause statement identifies Ogden as a former law enforcement officer who “has access to firearms and extensive training.” The court document goes on to say Ogden has remarked that “he was going to kill himself before he would go to prison.”

The bond conditions order Ogden to undergo a mental health evaluation within 24 hours of his release on bail. He also must surrender his passport.

He is represented by attorney Mark Ferguson.

An individual had reported to authorities that child porn had been viewed on Ogden’s computer located at his home in Platte City. The individual was afraid the images would be destroyed once the suspect was confronted, so the images were photographed with a cell phone, according to court documents. The cell phone was taken to authorities, who manually previewed the photos and moving image, according to the allegations.

Ogden’s next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 20.
