The suspect was arrested Wednesday night after a warrant search at his home and his chiropractic office, 1928 W. Wilson St. in Batavia, officials said. The investigation was conducted by the Batavia Police Department and the Child Exploitation Unit of the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office.
“Many of the recordings appear to be taken from a red light room used for red light and near-infrared light therapy. Hanson made the video recordings using hidden cameras secretly placed throughout his chiropractic office,” a news release from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office read in part. “Hanson was also found to be possessing and disseminating multiple videos containing child sexual abuse material that were unrelated to his chiropractic practice.”
Hanson is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 10.
The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office said Hanson is facing the following charges:
Producing Child Pornography, Class X felony (5 counts)
Disseminating Child Pornography, Class X felony (3 counts)
Possessing Child Pornography, Class 2 felony (6 counts)
Unauthorized Video Recording of a Minor Through/Under the Clothes, Class 3 felony (3 counts)
Officials have asked any potential victims to call (630) 444-3322 or email SAOVictimHotline@KaneCountyIL.gov
