Indictment Details
A Cuyahoga County grand jury returned a ten-count felony indictment against Adam Radogna, 37, owner of Adamo’s Italian Restaurant in Brook Park, Ohio. The indictment includes two second-degree felonies for illegal use of a minor or impaired person in nudity-oriented material, seven second-degree felonies for pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor or impaired person, and one fifth-degree felony for possessing criminal tools. The charges represent allegations; no trial verdict has been rendered.

Search, Arrest, and Bail Conditions
On October 22, the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at Radogna’s residence after a tip identified the home as a potential location for child sexual abuse material. Investigators found dozens of files on his devices. Radogna was arrested at the scene without incident, released on a $75,000 bond, placed under home detention, and ordered to surrender his passports. He is scheduled to be arraigned at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on a date that has not yet been announced.
