Oak Creek Sex Offender Faces Child Pornography Charges

A registered sex offender living in Oak Creek could go back to prison for the rest of his life after police found numerous child pornography pictures on his computer and in his home.

James Allen Batovsky, 39, was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court Monday with 11 counts of possession of child pornography. If convicted, he faces up to 275 years in prison and $1.1 million in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

Oak Creek police were alerted earlier this year to Batovsky’s home in the 1100 block of W. York St. after it was reported someone there was trying to contact young boys for sexual purposes. Police went to his home in June where he gave them consent to search his computer.

Police discovered numerous pictures depicting pre-pubescent and pubescent boys in sexual acts or posing in provocative ways on his hard drive, a tape, an iPod and several movies.

Batovsky spent one year in prison and one year on extended supervision after he was convicted in 2005 on possession of child pornography and exhibition of child pornography.

He will make his initial appearance in court Thursday.
