Jonathan Koziol, 39
DES PLAINES, Ill. - A Cook County man, who was previously arrested for aggravated battery of a police officer, now faces charges of child pornography.
Investigators assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit (ICAC) received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about a social media account that contained hundreds of pornographic images and videos of underage children, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said Wednesday.
It was determined that the account belonged to Jonathan Koziol, 39, of Des Plaines. According to the sheriff's office, Koziol distributed between 15 and 20 child sexual abuse materials to other people.
On Tuesday, a search warrant was executed at Koziol's home, and his cell phone, electronics and a safe containing a handgun were seized.
