LaGrange Park man could change plea on porn charges

A LaGrange Park man has indicated he could change his plea to guilty on federal charges of transporting and possessing child pornography.
Nathan Arger, 32, of 538 N. Spring Ave. entered a plea of not guilty in November following his arrest at his home Sept. 22. FBI agents seized hundreds of images and videos on his home computer, a Netbook and an external hard drive. But court documents filed since November requested a change in plea status. His next court appearance is scheduled June 19 before Judge Amy St. Eve in U.S. District Court.
Arger remains under home confinement with an electronic monitoring device on his ankle. He can’t have contact with anyone younger than age 18 and is prohibited from having Internet access.
FBI agents began an investigation in July by signing onto a peer-to-peer computer network account and finding the shared directories of “Mrdizzle420.” Agents downloaded more than 700 images and 12 video files depicting alleged child pornography. Included were more than 100 images of known child victims identified by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Agents also found photographs and videos that allegedly depicted Arger with two different prepubescent girls, one of whom was partially nude, according to the U.S. Attorney’s indictment.
Transporting child pornography carries a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000, according to the U.S. Attorney.
