Lake Bluff man arrested in child porn crackdown

A Lake County man was arrested Saturday on felony child pornography charges, according to the state attorney general's office.

Ian O'Donohoe, 39, of Lake Bluff was charged with two counts of aggravated possession of child pornography, a Class 2 felony punishable by a three to seven years in prison, and three counts of possession of child pornography, a Class 3 felony punishable by a two to five years in prison.

O'Donohoe's bond was set at $75,000.

“Possession of child pornography is an unimaginably horrific crime. These offenders are trading images online and, even worse, videos showing children who have been horribly abused and victimized,” Madigan said. “But the same technology used to download and send out these illegal images is now being used by my investigators to track and arrest these offenders.”

According to State Attorney General Lisa Madiagan's office, O'Donohoe's arrest is 17th the office has made in their crackdown of the most active online child porn traffickers.
