Ongoing Investigation Leads to Peru Man’s Arrest for Child Pornography

A Peru man received a visit from police early this morning to find out he’s in serious trouble.

The LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year old James Einhaus at his home shortly after 6:00. Alongside the deputies were members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force that includes members of several police units in the Illinois Valley and statewide.

His arrest followed a search of his home by police who were conducting a child pornography investigation. As a result of that investigation, Einhaus was taken in for two counts of possession of child pornography.

Einhaus is currently at the LaSalle County Jail where his bond has yet to be set. According to police the investigation is ongoing and additional charges are possible.
