A parent that has a daughter that goes to the same gym as mine was busted for child porn.
My daughter and his were friends. they a few sleepovers at my house and other friends (no my daughter NEVER stayed the night at her house). Since she stayed with us we had to talk to a detective.
Come to find out the guy was receiving, distributing and MAKING child porn.
This guy didn't seem the type either. Had a great job working for the Federal government and just purchased a huge house.
wow..
UPDATE: finally a article.
SYCAMORE A Sycamore man who is accused of sexually assaulting a girl younger than 13 years old over a span of four years had bond set Friday at $5 million.
richard J. Janusz, 46, of the 500 block of Nathan Lattin Lane, was charged with 15 counts of predatory criminal sexual assault and three counts of possession of child pornography.
Additional charges such as distribution of child pornography could be filed as the case continues, said Assistant State's Attorney Jessica Finley. Police believe more than one victim was abused and are asking anyone with relevant information to contact the Sycamore Police Department at 815-895-3435.
"We're continuing to investigate," said Sycamore police Chief Don Thomas. "Our detectives will be speaking to other people in the community and other family that may have had recent contact with the arrestee in order to see if we have any other offenses."
Janusz is accused of sexually assaulting a girl under 13 years old from Jan. 1, 2010, to July 31, and also having multiple images of underage children on his computer, court records show. Thomas said police are still investigating whether Janusz took pictures himself and uploaded them onto his computer or possessed the images from another source.
"There are many images," Thomas said. "We may discover more victims as we dig deeper."
Police took Janusz's computer and other electronic devices to possibly find more evidence, Thomas said.
The most serious charge, predatory criminal sexual assault, is typically punishable by between 6 and 30 years in prison. If convicted of all counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, Janusz would face between 90 and 450 years in prison.
Finely said Janusz has no prior criminal history. He is next due in court Aug.
