    Preschool Teacher Charged In Child Pornography Case
    An Oak Park man who was recently hired as a preschool teacher in the western suburbs appeared in bond court today facing felony child pornography charges after investigators developed information that he was using a file sharing program to trade pornographic images, according to the Office of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez.
    Richard Gertler, 34, a preschool teacher at a west suburban facility, has been charged with Dissemination of Child Pornography (Class X Felony) and Possession of Child Pornography (Class 2 Felony), following an investigation by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Berwyn Police Department.
    According to prosecutors, officers from the Berwyn Police Department conducted an investigation of Gertler after becoming aware that he was making child pornography available for download via a file sharing program.
    A search warrant executed at Gertler’s residence resulted in the recovery of a laptop computer and a forensic preview revealed more than 300 images containing child pornography.
    Additionally, approximately 25 printed photographs of naked children were recovered from Gertler’s residence
    Gertler was arrested by Berwyn Police on June 4 and appeared in bond court today at the Maywood Courthouse before Judge Carol Kipperman who set bond at $250,000.
