Child Porn Charges for New Lenox Man

Investigators found numerous pornographic images of children on the computer of a 31-year-old New Lenox man after a joint investigation with county and local officials, according to police.

Daniel M. Cameron, of the 1600 block of Briarcrest Drive in New Lenox, is charged with five counts of possession of child pornography, police said. Bail was set at $100,000.

Cameron was arrested on April 12 after the Will County State's Attorney's High Technology Computer Crimes Unit and the New Lenox Police Department Investigations Section conducted a two-month-long investigation into the distribution of Internet child pornography, police said. He was taken into custody at his parent's home, where he lived.

Detectives seized Cameron's computer and found pictures and videos of children younger than 13 years old "engaged in sexual conduct," police said.

Possession of child pornography is a Class 2 felony that carries a penalty of three to seven years in prison, with a conviction.

Cameron is scheduled to appear in court on May 6.

Anyone having information about Cameron asked to contact the Will County High Technology Crimes Unit at 815-723-1632 or wistocki@willcountyillinois.com.
