Overview
- Dr. David Hanson entered guilty pleas to two Class X felony counts for producing and disseminating child sexual abuse material from a larger 76-count indictment.
- Authorities say investigators recovered over 180 videos of patients being recorded while undressing, and prosecutors have said the footage included children.
- Most recordings were allegedly made with concealed cameras in a red‑light and infrared therapy room where patients must disrobe, and plaintiffs say some devices were disguised to look like room fans.
- Hanson was arrested during the multi‑year investigation and prosecutors say he also possessed and shared child sexual abuse material not tied to his office; civil lawsuits by former patients are still pending.
- Kane County prosecutors have conducted victim outreach and asked the public for tips, and Judge D. J. Tegler has scheduled Hanson’s sentencing for Nov. 10, 2026.
