Robert L. Kozel, 64, of Darien was arrested June 25 in connection with possession of child pornography.

The arrest was made after the DuPage County’s Sheriff’s Office Gang Unit responded to a report of a vehicle being involved in a drug transaction in the 8200 block of Woodland Drive in unincorporated Downers Grove Township near Willowbrook.

During the investigation, it was discovered that a 17 year-old girl had lewd photos of herself of professional quality in her possession.

After the teen was interviewed, she was able to provide information which led to the sheriff’s detectives in executing a search warrant at Kozel’s home.

Detectives said during the search, they seized photographic equipment, computers, electronic storage devices and a commercial copier printer that Kozel is alleged to have used to produce child pornography.

Kozel is currently being held in the DuPage County Jail. The sheriff’s office is currently continuing the investigation and working to identify people in photographs seized at the business KOZ Digital Photography and Imaging in Darien.

Anyone with information relating to this investigation should contact the DuPage County Sheriff’s Office at (630) 407-2400.
