KANE COUNTY - An East Dundee man has been sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty to sharing child pornography.

The Kane County State's Attorney's Office announced that Eric Torres, 26, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors and admitted to sharing a video that depicted the sexual abuse of a child under 13.

Assistant State's Attorney Matthew Rodgers described the content of the video as extremely disturbing.

"The video Mr. Torres disseminated depicted a very young child being brutally abused in a sexual manner," Rodgers said. "This sentence holds him accountable and hopefully serves to deter other potential offenders."
