Lisle Man Charged With Possession Of Child Pornography

LISLE, IL — A Lisle man has been charged with multiple counts of possession of child pornography after a months-long investigation by the DuPage County Sheriff's Office and the Lisle Police Department.

Brandon Darger, 39, of the 4400 block of Fender Drive, was charged with nine counts of possession of child pornography videos.

“Our Digital Forensic Investigation Unit is relentless in its pursuit of those who attempt to
victimize and violate our children through child pornography," Sheriff James Mendrick said in a news release. “If you’re producing it, searching for it, watching it or sharing it, they will find you and we will work to prepare the best possible case for prosecutors.”

“Unfortunately, we continue to see an alarming number of these very disturbing cases,” DuPage
County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in a statement. “I would like to commend DuPage County Sheriff Jim Mendrick’s Digital Forensic Investigations Unit as well as the Lisle Police Department for their continued pro-active efforts in going after those who would prey on our most vulnerable.”

Darger was taken into custody and later released on bond. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison.
