A Glenview man has been charged with 12 counts of possession of child pornography after investigators allegedly found pornographic images and a video on his computer, authorities said.
Bruce Claver, 58, of the 3000 block of Knollwood Lane in Glenview, was taken into custody in the 1900 block of Glenview Road on March 6 following the results of a search warrant executed December 11, Glenview police said in a news release. They said Claver was charged the following day with 11 counts of possession of images of child pornography of victims under 13 years of age and 1 count of possession of a video of child pornography of a victim under 13 years of age.
Glenview police conducted their investigation with assistance from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the release said.
It said Claver was taken to the Skokie Courthouse on March 8 for a detention hearing, where his previous pre-trial release conditions were revoked. Police did not say what the earlier charges were. He is being held at the Cook County Jail pending a court hearing.
