Wheaton Police Charge Addison Man with Child Porn Possession

Wheaton police arrested a 28-year-old Addison man on Monday and charged him with twelve counts of possession of child pornography, the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office has announced.

Christopher Korszlak, 28, who rented a room on the 200 block of Brashares Drive, Addison, appeared in bond court on Thursday morning and had bail set at $300,000; the charges hold a minimum sentence of 72 years in state prison.

According to the release, the Wheaton Police Department, as part of an ongoing investigation into the dissemination of child pornography, located a computer in DuPage County that allegedly contained underage porn; the investigation led to Korsziak who allegedy possessed "thousands" such videos and photographs.

"Child pornography continues to claim thousands of innocent victims every year,” DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin said in a press release. “It is not a victimless crime. Every image and every video of child pornography represents another young child who has been victimized by child pornography and those who view it.

"To protect these innocent victims, my office stands ready to vigorously prosecute any allegations of child pornography. I would like to thank the Wheaton Police Department for their continuing efforts to protect our children from child pornographers as well as Assistant State’s Attorney Kirsten King for her work on this case.”

Korsziak's next court appearance is scheduled for May 6.
