McCavitt
PEORIA
— A Peoria police officer faces child pornography charges less than two months
after a jury acquitted him of sexually assaulting an adult woman.
John
McCavitt, 32, 1710 W. Westaire Ave., already has been released from the Peoria
County Jail after posting $5,000 bond on seven counts of aggravated child
pornography and three counts of possession of child porn. Illicit images
allegedly were found while Peoria police were investigating an alleged sexual
assault last July.
The
charges were handed down April 23 but sealed until Monday, when McCavitt turned
himself in to the Peoria County Sheriff’s Office.
