Man charged with child pornography distribution

March 10, 2009 Bond was set at $250,000 for 45-year-old Robert Persiani.

He was arrested at his home in South Chicago Heights on Monday, following a four month investigation.

Police say they seized a computer and several CDs in a raid on his home in December, containing more than 100 child pornography images and videos.

Investigators were particularly disturbed by a video that used children to instruct pedophiles on how to molest children and conceal the crime.
