A chiropractor in Illinois has been hit with a slew
of charges for allegedly videotaping his patients in the nude
without their consent. David Hanson, who owns Hanson's Family Chiropractic,
is accused of using hidden cameras to secretly record over

(00:22):
one hundred and eighty of his patients as they undressed
or were already unclothed. Investigators with the Kane County State's
Attorney's Office say they arrested Hanson on Wednesday after searching
his home and office. During the searches, they reportedly uncovered
several videos of child pornography that Hanson allegedly possessed and distributed.

(00:45):
The authorities have stated that the child porn materials were
not connected to his doctor practice. Hanson is now scheduled
to appear in court to face the charges against him.
The case has sent shock waves through the local community,
with many patients feeling betrayed by the trusted health care provider.
Law enforcement said thousands of images were captured onto his devices.

Over one hundred and eighty patients recorded in the nude.
More crime and justice news after this and now to Indiana,
where a man faces serious allegations of child abuse, including
physical violence and psychological intimidation. Curtis borden Kircher, thirty five,

(01:32):
has been charged with four accounts of neglecting a dependent
through cruel confinement or abandonment, along with two counts of
intimidation related to threats of violence. These charges were filed
this month, but the investigation began back in October when
a child reached out to her mother saying that they
were being abused in the home. Law enforcement became involved

(01:55):
after deputies from the Hancock County Sheriff's Office responded to
a report in New Power, Palestine, where they were informed
of multiple disturbing claims against the man. According to the
Criminal Affidavid, one girl accused him of whipping her with
a belt, forcing her to stand in the corner until
her legs went numb, and belittling her with names like
dumb or disappointment to the world. Another girl reported being

(02:18):
shoved against the wall and choked out and repeatedly threatened.
The allegations extend beyond physical abuse. At one point, borden
Kircher allegedly warned the children that if they didn't remain silent,
he would slaughter them in their sleep, brandishing a knife
as he made the threat. The boy who reported this
to authorities, expressed fear that the man would act on

(02:41):
the threats. Reports indicate that the children were made to
stand in a corner for extended periods up to six hours,
only sneaking to the bathroom when borden Kircher left the house.
He allegedly told them you are to stay in the
corner until your legs go numb and you fall down.
He also said, I have no sympathy for you. You stand

all night. A fourth child described being whipped while drinking
from a beer can, a behavior the children suggested was
typical for the man, noting his excessive drinking habits often
led to his anger and outburst. Morgen Kircher was released
on a six hundred dollars cash bond, and as a
condition of his release, has been ordered to refrain from

(03:24):
contacting the four children. He is set to appear in
court for a pretrial conference on December fourth. New Palestine
is a small town located just east of Indianapolis. Police
did not disclose the relationship between the man and the children,
and now to Ohio, where the Cleveland Police are asking
for the public's help to locate a missing teen they
