ANDERSON – An Anderson lawyer was arrested in his office Wednesday for distributing child pornography.

The lawyer, Samuel Hasler, 50, allegedly made contact with a undercover officer on the Internet without realizing it, according to U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison.

Hasler is being held at the Community Corrections facility in Indianapolis on child pornography charges, Morrison said.

According to Morrison, Hasler exchanged communications with the undercover officer, which led to a search of his office where images were found.
