Naperville man charged with possession of child porn

A Naperville man has been charged with four counts of possession of child pornography, police said Tuesday.

Christopher T. Sunryder, 34, was arrested Thursday after a four-month investigation involving the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Unit and the Naperville Police Department Computer Crimes Unit, according to Naperville Cmdr. Mike Anders.

Maryland authorities contacted Naperville police after one of their residents reported Sunryder was using a phone sex chat line to try to make arrangements to have sex with a minor.

In September, police executed a search warrant on Sunryder's residence in Naperville and workplace in Downers Grove and seized personal computers, which led to the recovery of numerous images of child pornography, authorities said.

Naperville Sgt. William Davis said authorities do not believe Sunryder had any contact with minors and no charges will be filed in Maryland.

Sunryder was taken to the department's detention facility, then transferred to DuPage County jail where he posted $5,000 bond.

Possession of child pornography is a felony punishable upon conviction by two to five years in prison per count.
