Child Porn Case

Chicago Police arrested James Bradshaw, 62, owner of a Chicago center that tutors children, on multiple charges of manufacturing child pornography. His Beverly Instructional Center remains closed. Investigators found that Bradshaw had installed a video camera in the center's restroom to tape students committing sex acts.

[C]harges involve a 14- to 15-year-old boy who is seen on the tape on four different occasions from the past year-and-a-half. It also includes video of a 13- to 14-year-old girl who is taped on numerous occasions during a six-month period last year.

After shutting the center down on May 29th, police confiscated numerous videotapes and said there were as many as 15 children seen on one of them. They have other tapes to review, suggesting the strong likelihood of more charges.

According to Kathleen Muldoon, asst. state's attorney, the Chicago Police Department is continuing its investigation to determine whether the children were coached or compensated for engaging in the sex acts.

This type of story occurs much too often and it sure is depressing to think what it does to the kids.
