Lombard man charged with child porn

A 54-year-old Lombard man has been charged with six counts of child pornography and is being held in the DuPage County jail, authorities said.

Bond was set at $150,000 Tuesday morning for Richard August of the 1300 block of Lore Lane.

Prosecutors said police removed a computer with more than 900 images and 1,900 hard disks full of videos and images from August's home following an investigation.

During his bond hearing, prosecutors said August, who is unemployed and lives in a condo owned by his father, admitted to frequenting searching for pornography featuring children ages 10 to 13.

He is next due in court on Dec. 10.
