Palos Heights Man Arrested With Child Pornography: Orland Park Police

ORLAND PARK, IL — A man was arrested in Orland Park after the National Center for Missing and Endangered Children told police he might be in possession of child pornography.

According to Orland Park officials, 23-year-old Bishop Lopez was identified as a suspect after the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force investigated the April tip.

Tuesday, officers went to Lopez's home and said they "located evidence of child pornography" in the house. Police did not immediately say what the evidence consisted of, but took Lopez's electronics into the station on a warrant and later said they recovered pornographic images and videos of children.

Orland Park police took the lead on the case since the original tip alleged Lopez downloaded the pornographic images from a device in Orland Park, police later said they found the downloading took place at Lopez's Palos Heights home.

Lopez was charged with one count of possession of child pornography that depicted children under 13 years old, court documents stated. Lopez was issued a $250,000 bond Thursday.
