The grand jury charged David Hanson, the 44-year-old owner of Hanson Family Chiropractic, with the following felony offenses:

When he was arrested Nov. 6, 2025, the Batavia Police Department and Kane County State's Attorney's Office announced similar charges for Hanson, a resident of the 1100 block of Challenge Drive. The same day, a Kane County judge ordered him detained pre-trial, finding Hanson posed a "real and present threat to the community."

The victims were mostly female and ranged in age from children to adults, according to police. Investigators said many of the recordings appeared to be taken from a room used for red light and near-infrared light therapy. Hanson is accused of filming victims using hidden cameras placed throughout his office, Patch reported.

The indictment said Hanson committed the offenses between Jan. 1, 2016, and Nov. 5, 2025. Authorities believe he acted alone.

The case was handed off entirely to state prosecutors. Mosser said investigators with the child exploitation unit continue identifying and reaching out to potential victims. Phone and email hotlines remain open at 630-444-3322 and SAOVictimHotline@KaneCountyIL.gov.

Hanson's next court date is set for March 12. He remains in custody at the Kane County jail while his case is pending.
