A Will County judge set a $1 million bail Wednesday for a Crest Hill man who told police he used child pornography to distract himself from thoughts of killing his wife and two young daughters.

Joshua K. Price, 26, was arrested March 29 and faces three child pornography possession charges that could land him seven years in jail, according to court records. His bail was originally set at $250,000.

Police said Price was “very honest” in videotaped interviews, though. They said he has post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the military in the Middle East, and he was using child pornography to take his mind off his anger.

Will County Detective Joseph Fazio also said Price told him the pornography “keeps him from thinking about killing his wife and children.” His daughters are 4 and 6, according to court records.

Police said they found 1,700 images on his computer showing not only pornography but images of dismembered women.

“If these images are staged images and not genuine,” prosecutors wrote in a request for higher bond, “the level of staging appears very sophisticated.”

Judge Edward Burmila interrupted a hearing on that request Wednesday after hearing how Price used the pornography, and he set Price’s bail at $1 million.

Price was arrested after he left a flash drive containing the pornographic images in a computer lab at Joliet Junior College, authorities said.

When the drive was turned in, a lab assistant looked on it to try to find its owner and discover class work belonging to Price along with the pornography.

When police searched his Crest Hill apartment and seized his computer and more flash drives there.

Joshua Price, 26, of Crest Hill, faces three child pornography possession charges.

How profoundly sad.

It would be interesting to find out what kind of help he sought, if any, and how the military responded. Our troops are suffering such trauma and the country really doesn't care.

That just pisses me off like none other that he is claiming he has PTSD!

What in thee hell does serving in the middle east have to do with craving kiddie porn ya sick fuck...

Idiots like this are what gives those who really do have PTSD a bad name... He is just using it as an easy excuse to mask his pedophile behaviour...

You could be right... But honestly Supa, why kiddie porn? why not just regular porn? Thats where I think he's full of shit... My son was over there 7 months, This PTSD has been and still is a HUGE fear of mine, so for someone to use it as an excuse so that they may not get into trouble pisses me off so much I had to come out of my org silence just to post!

But seriously, he may have PTSD, and I understand how rough it is, but it doesnt make grown ass men who had no interest in kiddie porn become kidde porn lovers...

There is also images of dismembered women. Psychologically, he may be seeking the destruction of innocence (in response to the anger/despair/helplessness) and that could be his reaction to the family as well. He would be displacing that anger, if what he is saying is true.

Shoot Him, too.

Okay, I guess I should expand on that a bit. No, I don't advocated shooting unlawful people. It's not because I think someone like him doesn't deserve it, but the preservation of "our" humanity is at stake, so every effort needs to be made on our part to avoid that slippery slope.

Too bad we can't use cryogenic freezing on such folks, maybe it'll cut down on the cost of feeding, and providing medical care for locking up such individuals. Experts say that those who have issues about sexualizing children are never cured so counseling seems to be a waste of time and energy. But we do the best we can do with the resources we have, I guess.

I'm not buying his excuse even with monopoly money. For all we know, dude probably molested some girls while stationed in foreign countries.

1) he craves kiddie porn. - disgusting.

2) he wanted to kill his family - equally disgusting.

3) he took the porn to his college campus - a place that most likely had a mental health facility or counselor available.

4) if he used the porn to take his mind off anger in general then why was such hostility aimed at his family and not at people in general?

Our military service men who have PSTD have difficulty functioning in any circumstance and around any group of people. I've never read a single story on a PTSD suffering veteran who was heavily into kiddie porn and claimed it relaxed him. Come on folk! You have to know these pedophiles. Trust...they are far more clever than you or I. They can sell water to a fish. Bastards!

I'm not buying this either!

If he was having thoughts of killing his wife and kids and supposedly looking at kiddie porn to "take his mind off of his anger". Then why was he looking at pictures and apparently very convincing ones at that of "dismembered women", as well.

I don't think that would take his mind off of his anger and doing something stupid.

I think he got caught and thought fast on his feet of the only excuse that could possibly garner his sick ass some sympathy.

Add to this that he was so damn careless as to leave it at a computer lab in school. If you KNEW you had some illegal images of something, why would you even take it to school, let alone not keep tabs on it by just leaving it there?? It just shows it was almost like a normal process for him to have kiddie porn in his possession.

Knowing that jerk, he probably put the flash drive on the back of the desktop, jerked off to the images, then left with his brain all cloudy from the jerking.

From my understanding, pedos aren't usually into adult porn. Dismembered women porn? Obviously major mental issues, and very well could be triggered by going to horrible battle zones. You all should be very concerned about the faux war situations your troops have been thrown into by GW.

It's much easier to go into reaction mode than to address that issue.

There are some individuals that just get into the most extreme forms of pornography and they don't really seem to care what the subject matter is. The article doesn't quite mention if his collection consisted mostly of child pornography or if that was just a small percentage of it. It's just that the scat, staged dismembering and the kind aren't illegal to possess (of course, in certain places they are).

The explanation he has himself provided just seems enough illogical to prove that his problems extend far beyond simply being into child pornography. His place most likely isn't in regular prison.

Regardless, his conduct is, and was, criminal. Life imprisonment.

[EDITED]

In 2000, the U.S. Department of Justice reported that the number of substantiated cases of child sexual abuse had been decreasing due to vigorous incarceration of offenders. However, sending offenders to prison is neither permanent nor the best solution, as the average sentence for child sex abusers is only eleven years. In fact, acting pedophiles completing a treatment program are less likely to repeat abusive behaviors than those who serve prison terms and are not given access to treatment (Cloud 2002).

Treatment strategies for pedophilia include a "12 step support system," parallel to addiction therapy, and anti-androgenic medications that can be used to lowertestosterone or medicines that increase serotonin levels. Such medications have met with success when combined with other treatments.

The most favored counseling approach is cognitive-behavioral therapy, in which the subject is taught to associate "pedophilic behavior" with various unpleasantries. Usually, this is done by telling the pedophile to fantasize of "deviant sexual activity," and then, once aroused, they are given instructions to imagine the assumed legal and social consequences of such an action. Empathy and social skills training is also often included in cognitive-behavioral therapy. Other programs induce an association of illegal behavior with pain, by means of more controversial aversion therapy in which the pedophile is subjected to an electric shock while fantasizing ("Can pedophiles be treated?").

There has been much debate in the medical and scientific communities over the effectiveness of treatments for pedophilia. Many experts regard pedophilia as highly resistant to psychological interference and have dismissed as ineffective most "reparative strategies" (Crawford 1981). Supporting this position, a 1987 study by the Council on Scientific Affairs found that the success rate of aversion therapy was parallel to that of homosexual reparative therapy. Others, such as Fred Berlin, believe pedophilia can "indeed be successfully treated," if only the medical community would give it more attention. Indeed, combinations of drugs and counseling have been showing increasing effectiveness in treating pedophiles. However, without a complete understanding of the causes of pedophilia, treatment cannot be expected to be completely effective.

I think it only shows how much porn he owned. He likely thought he had a 'clean' drive. He may have downloaded the files to the drive.

satan in the house again he hasnt got long left but hes doing his worsed!!

I wouldn't blame Satan (or God) for what's happening here. Just someone who is so fucked up that he engages in fucked-up activity and tries to excuse it as a mental problem. In this case I think blaming something or someone for how fucked up you are doesn't make it any better.

Treatments

In the earliest stages of behavior modification therapy, pedophiles may be narrowly viewed as being attracted to inappropriate persons. Such aversive stimuli as electric shocks have been administered to persons undergoing therapy for pedophilia. This approach has not been very successful.

In 2002, the most common form of treatment for pedophilia is psychotherapy , often of many years' duration. It does not have a high rate of success in inducing pedophiles to change their behavior.

Prognosis

The prognosis of successfully ending pedophilic habits among persons who practice pedophilia is not favorable. Pedophiles have a high rate of recidivism; that is, they tend to repeat their acts often over time.

The rate of prosecution for pedophiles through the criminal justice system has increased in recent years. Pedophiles are at high risk of being beaten or killed by other prison inmates. For this reason, they must often be kept isolated from other members of a prison population. Knowledge of the likelihood of abuse by prison personnel and inmates is not, however, an effective deterrent for most pedophiles.

You don't have to be a PHD, Attorney or Behavorial Scientist to realize the obvious: adults who like fucking kids will continue to fuck kids just as adults who like fucking other adults will continue to fuck other adults.

You can't program a pedophile to not be a pedophile; this is who they are. Just like any other criminal, they only show remorse once they get caught and unfortunately by the time they are caught they have already had dozens of victims.
