ST. CHARLES, Ill. (AP) - A 26-year-old Aurora man will serve four years in state prison after pleading guilty to possessing images of child pornography.
The Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office says Erik S. Paxton entered his plea on Thursday, and it was accepted by Circuit Judge Karen Simpson.
Prosecutors say investigators found lewd images of nude children on Paxton’s computer in May 2012. They say there’s no indication he knew any of the children.
Paxton will receive credit for 647 days that he has been held since his arrest.
