OREGON — A Mt. Morris man pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of possessing images of child sexual abuse on his cellphone.
Christopher J. Kaepplinger, 54, was sentenced to four years probation with a long list of special conditions through a plea agreement approved by Ogle County Associate Circuit Judge Anthony Peska.
Kaepplinger was taken into custody Oct. 31, 2024, after Ogle County sheriff’s detectives and officers with the Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigations searched his apartment in Mt. Morris and found images of children younger than 13 in sexual poses on his cellphone.
