Roselle man arrested at airport, charged with child porn
A Roselle man faces 15 to 30 years in prison after being charged with two felony child pornography offenses.
Gary Cheetham, 54, of 104 E. Pratt Blvd., was arrested late Tuesday after returning to Chicago at O'Hare International Airport by agents working for the FBI's Innocent Images Task Force.
According to the FBI complaint against Cheetham, special agents used a file-sharing website to access and download child pornographic images that were linked to Cheetham in December 2009.
During a search of Cheetham's home last month, investigators found several computers and digital devices containing "numerous images and videos" of what appeared to be child pornography. Authorities also believe Cheetham manufactured child pornography.
