Shaun W. Healy, 42, of Elburn, has been charged with soliciting child pornography, reproducing child pornography, disseminating child pornography, and having child pornography in his possession.
Prosecutors claim Healy solicited, reproduced, disseminated, and possessed numerous videos and images of child pornography.
David P. Winecke, 66, of Batavia, was charged with reproducing child pornography of a victim under the age of thirteen and possessing child pornography of a victim under the age of thirteen.
Prosecutors claim Winecke copied and possessed numerous videos and images of child pornography.

His next court appearance is set for January 11.
