Illinois -Sheriffs Seize Computers, Charge Man In Child Porn Case
From wbbm780 (online). 06/23/07.
HARVARD, Ill. - A Harvard man is charged with a total of 20 counts for possession and dissemination of child pornography after sheriff's seized computers and data storage devices from his northwest suburban home Friday.
Sean V. Thompson, of Durkee Rd. in Harvard, was charged Friday with 10 each of dissemination of child pornography, a Class 1 felony, and child pornography, a Class 3 felony, according to a release from the McHenry County Sheriff’s department.
About 7:25 a.m., McHenry County sheriff's police served and executed a search warrant at Thompson’s Durkee Road home after receiving information from the Illinois Attorney General’s Illinois Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Child Exploitation Task Force in April 2007. The Task Force discovered that people in the Durkee Road residence may have received and disseminated child pornography via the internet, the release said.
The sheriff’s department initiated an investigation and Friday morning seized three computers and other data storage devices.
Police said more charges are expected in this ongoing investigation. A court date and bond has yet to be set by a judge for Thompson, the release said.
