Kane County, IL – Investigators are asking possible victims to come forward after Batavia chiropractor Dr. David Hanson was charged with secretly recording nude videos of patients, including children, at his clinic.
According to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, Hanson, owner of Hanson Family Chiropractic, faces multiple felony counts including five counts of producing child pornography, three counts of disseminating it, six counts of possession, and three counts of unauthorized video recording of a minor.
Authorities allege Hanson secretly recorded more than 180 patients—many of them female—while undressed or partially clothed during therapy sessions. Investigators say the recordings were taken in rooms used for red light and near-infrared light treatments, where hidden cameras were discovered throughout the office.
Hanson was arrested November 5 after a search of his Batavia office on Wilson Street. He appeared in court Thursday, where a judge ruled him a flight risk and ordered him detained. His next court appearance is scheduled for November 10 in Kane County.
Anyone who believes they or their dependents may have been victimized is urged to contact the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office Victim Hotline at (630) 444-3322 or email SAOVictimHotline@KaneCountyIL.gov.
This case is being investigated by Batavia Police with assistance from the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office and Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Hanson is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
