Overview
- The civil suit, filed Nov. 24 in Kane County by Romanucci & Blandin, names David Hanson and Hanson Family Chiropractic and alleges invasion of privacy, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and emotional distress.
- Hanson, 43, was previously arrested after searches of his home and office and is charged with five counts of producing child pornography, three of disseminating, six of possessing, and three counts of unauthorized recording of a minor.
- Officials say many recordings were made in a clinic red light therapy room using hidden cameras concealed behind vents and fans, with victims ranging from young children to adults.
- Prosecutors also allege Hanson possessed and shared child sexual abuse material unrelated to his practice, and the youngest identified victim in the clinic videos was three years old.
- The plaintiffs’ firm says more lawsuits are expected, while forensic analysis continues and an Illinois lawmaker plans to introduce camera‑oversight legislation in the next legislative session.
