Feds: Shorewood IT Guy Had Kiddie Porn Cache

Federal agents took down a Shorewood man who they say amassed an extensive collection of child pornography.

Christopher Kice, 41, of 1110 Callaway Drive West, was carted down to the county jail Monday and then transported to federal custody in Chicago.

FBI agents armed with a warrant for Kice's arrest collared the information technology worker Monday.

According to a federal affidavit, Kice had numerous illicit computer files bearing such names as "Church Girls Gone Wild," "underage illegal preteen daughter," "pedofil," "lolitaguy," and others too filthy to print.

The feds and Shorewood cops raided Kice's home on St. Patrick's Day, the affidavit said.

Kice admitted to using his laptop computer to download pornography, according to the affidavit, which was penned by Special Agent Linda Engstrom, and he admitted to viewing child pornography "in the past," although not intentionally.

"Kice stated that if he unintentionally came across these images then he would delete them," the affidavit says. "Kice also stated that he knew people who had downloaded one child pornographic image and it had ruined their lives."

But a forensic examination of Kice's computers and computer equipment yielded pornographic images of young girls, the affidavit says. Some of the photographs were taken in Kice's home, according to the affidavit, and show the girls being fondled by the hand of an off-camera adult.

Among other images discovered in the investigation, the affidavit says, is a photograph "depicting a prepubescent girl, approximately six to eight years of age, receiving oral sex from a dog."

Kice's wife, Desiree Kice, did not want to discuss her husband's arrest.

"It has nothing to do with anybody. It's private," she said. "Chris didn't hurt anybody."

According to Kice's Facebook page, he was a photographer's mate in the Navy and has worked at Onward Technologies since June. He is also a fan of "Weird Al" Yankovic and the Cookie Monster.

A sign on the door of the Kice residence instructs visitors that a "Baby (is) sleeping. Please do not ring bell. Thanks."
