West Suburban Teen Busted In Child Porn Sting

Bojan Hrgota Is Latest To Get Arrested

WHEATON, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― Detectives in west suburban Wheaton have arrested another man in conjunction with an Internet sting operation investigating child pornography.

Bojan Hrgota, 18, of Downers Grove, was arrested July 3 and charged with possession of child pornography.

The Wheaton police are working with the office of the Illinois Attorney General in the undercover Internet operation.

Hrgota posted bond of $5,000 and was released from the DuPage County Jail in Wheaton.

This is only the most recent arrest stemming from the investigation. On June 24, Joel L. Hethcoat, 23, and Michael Lombardo, 22, both of Villa Park, were arrested and charged with possession of child pornography.

Earlier in June, Brian J. Baker, 19, of Carol Stream, was arrested and charged with one felony count of possession of child pornography after he allegedly transmitted photographs using the Internet that contained pornographic images of children.

A warrant search of Baker's personal computer led to the recovery of numerous digital images of child pornography, police said.

Baker posted a $1,000 bail bond and was released.
