ST. CHARLES, IL – A Geneva man is facing serious charges after authorities say he possessed and distributed child pornography over the past month.
According to the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, Kenneth A. Christensen is charged with six counts of Disseminating Child Pornography (Class X felony) and ten counts of Possessing Child Pornography (Class 2 felony). Prosecutors allege the offenses occurred between October 5 and November 4, 2025, involving videos containing child sexual abuse material.
The investigation was a joint effort by the Kane County Child Exploitation Unit, Batavia Police Department, and Geneva Police Department. The task force, launched in 2022, aims to protect Illinois children from sexual exploitation.
On November 6, Christensen appeared in court for a pretrial detention hearing. While prosecutors requested he remain in custody, a judge allowed him to be released under specific conditions pending trial. His next court appearance is set for November 13 at 9 a.m. in Courtroom 319 of the Kane County Judicial Center.
Authorities emphasize that the charges are not proof of guilt. Christensen is presumed innocent unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
