Christopher M. Rivera, 29, of Crystal Lake.

A Crystal Lake man was arrested after police found him in possession of numerous videos of someone having sex with a child.

Christopher M. Rivera, 29, of the 700 block of Concord Drive in Crystal Lake, was charged with ten counts of possession of child pornography, a Class 2 felony.

The Crystal Lake Police Department executed a residential search warrant at Rivera’s residence around 6:30 a.m. Friday.

Police began investigating the man after receiving information from the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, of which the Crystal Lake Police Department is a participating member.

The Crystal Lake Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit conducted the investigation, which led to a search warrant being issued.

Detectives arrested Rivera following a search of his residence that resulted in evidence recovered, according to Crystal Lake Deputy Police Chief Thomas Kotlowski.

A 10-count criminal complaint filed in court alleges that Rivera possessed videotapes of a child, who Rivera knew was under the age of 18, engaging in an act of sexual intercourse.
