IL Chiropractor Filmed 100+ Patients Secretly

This is a deeply disturbing situation unfolding in Illinois. A local chiropractor has been arrested and is facing serious felony charges for allegedly secretly recording over 100 patients, including children, while they were undressed or partially clothed in his clinic. The alleged acts took place inside his practice in Kane County.

Hidden Cameras Found in Clinic

David Hanson, the chiropractor in question, was taken into custody on November 5th. Investigators were led to his clinic, Hanson Family Chiropractic, after receiving an anonymous tip back in September. What they discovered was alarming: multiple hidden cameras strategically placed within the clinic.

According to reports, several cameras were found concealed behind vents and fans in a red light therapy room. This is a space where patients would typically undress for treatment sessions. The evidence collected suggests that many patients, unaware they were being recorded, were filmed in compromising and invasive situations.

Charges and Victim Support

Hanson is now facing multiple felony charges, including producing, possessing, and disseminating child sexual abuse material, as well as unauthorized video recording of a minor through clothing. Prosecutors confirmed that Hanson has been practicing since 2013 and owned the clinic where these alleged recordings occurred. The victims range in age from as young as 3 years old to adults.

Authorities are currently working diligently to identify all potential victims and ensure they receive the necessary support. State Attorney Jamie Mosser stated that they are focused on helping victims understand the ongoing investigation and that participation in the legal process will be voluntary. Investigators are still working to determine if the videos were ever distributed online or shared with others.

What Happens Next?

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities attempting to contact hundreds of former patients to ascertain who may have been recorded. The focus remains on supporting those affected and bringing those responsible to justice. This case serves as a stark reminder of the importance of patient privacy and the severe consequences of violating that trust.
