Child porn suspect is son of child molester

WHEATON, Ill. (WLS) - A man from Naperville accused of having child porn is the son of a man serving a 21-year prison term for sexually assaulting the preteen daughter of a friend.

Eric M. Pence II, 19, remains in DuPage County Jail in Wheaton on $200,000 bail. His father, Eric M. Pence, 43, is imprisoned in the Western Illinois Correctional Center in Mount Sterling.

Pence II lived in Wheaton before recently moving to an apartment on the 1700 block of Brookdale Road in Naperville. A grand jury on Thursday indicted him on five felony counts of possession of child pornography and one count each of child luring, traveling to meet a minor and grooming, according to court records.

Wheaton police on Wednesday issued a terse statement, saying an undercover investigation of Pence II was launched “based on a complaint by parents of a 12-year-old victim.” Pence II surrendered to police on Sept. 7.

Police said “no additional details are available for release, as prosecution of the case is pending.”

The grand jury indictment indicated Pence II between July 30, 2011 and July 30 of this year obtained pornographic images of two girls, who were identified only by their initials. The images reportedly depicted the girls naked or partially clothed and striking provocative poses.

Pence II between July 30, 2011 and July 20 “knowingly used a computer online service, Internet service or any other device capable of electronic data storage or transmission to seduce, solicit, lure or entice” one of the girls, in order to “engage in unlawful sexual conduct” with her, the indictment read in part. He also allegedly traveled June 22 to meet the girl for a sexual encounter.

DuPage authorities in 2005 charged Pence’s father with two felony counts of criminal sexual assault of a victim between the ages of 13 and 17 and one count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. That followed an investigation by police in Bartlett, where the elder Pence last lived.

The victim is the daughter of one of the senior Pence’s former friends. She testified he repeatedly molested her between 2003 and 2005, beginning when she was 12.

He was sentenced in September 2006 to prison. Illinois Department of Corrections records indicated he will not be eligible for parole until September 2025.

Pence II is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 1. before Judge George J. Bakalis, the same judge who presided over his father’s trial and sentenced him to prison.
