A Round Lake Beach woman forced an 8-year-old to take lewd photos of a 5-year-old, according to Lake County Assistant State’s Attorney Marc Bangser.
Her bond was set at $250,000 on Wednesday. Esther Andrade, 32, was arrested on child pornography charges Tuesday.
Andrade used an 8-year-old boy to take eight photos of the 5-year-old in different poses, Bangser said. The 8-year-old did not want to participate, but Andrade put her hand over the 8-year-old’s to get him to take the photos, Bangser said.
The exact date of the offense was unclear, but Bangser said it was in early July.
Round Lake Beach police opened the case after Andrade alerted Illinois Department of Children’s and Family Services. However, Andrade told DCFS that someone else had taken the lewd photos.
DCFS passed Andrade’s report to Round Lake Beach police, Bangser said.
Andrade is in custody at Lake County Jail. She is due back in court July 25 for status of attorney.
