Man Allegedly Taped Boys Using O'Hare Rest Rooms


CHICAGO (WBBM Newsradio 780/CBS 2)  -- There are new developments in the case of an accused pedophile from upstate New York: a man who New York authorities believe shot videotapes inside rest rooms at O'Hare.

WBBM Newsradio 780's Steve Miller reports the man accused is Jesus Manuel  Cano and is 50 years old. A Jehovah's Witness minister, say police in Middletown, New York.

Cano is in jail in New York. He is charged as a pedophile there.

Middletown Police Detective Sergeant Jerry Mishk says investigators have seized four computers from Cano's home - at a Jehovah's Witness farm.

Mishk says police are getting ready to go over the computers for evidence.

Cano had a video recording labeled "O'Hare" that allegedly included images of children in public bathrooms, Mishk said.

And Mishk says Cano had a videotape that apparently was shot inside O'Hare rest rooms.

"After watching the video for awhile, we were able to hear an announcement in the background, 'Welcome to Chicago O'Hare Airport,' so we determined that the video was (shot) in the rest rooms at the Chicago airport."

"We believe it might even be a United terminal because we were able to see at one point his video showing a United sign," Mishk says.

Mishk believes the people being photographed were unaware.

Chicago police say they have not seen the videotape - and are waiting for a packet of materials from police in New York.

Chicago police say they have heard from no one here who claims to have been a victim.

CBS 2 reports Middletown police say Cano allegedly used his own video camera to take images of himself in the nude and then print them with his phone number in hopes of luring young boys for sex.

Police say the first alleged incident took place on June 17 when Cano allegedly called an 11-year-old victim to his car to give him a naked picture of himself. Police say Cano then asked the child to meet him at another location for sex.

One week later, another alleged incident took place, but the victim's parents called police.
Police say they found beer, condoms and an ointment of some sort inside Cano's blue Nissan. Inside, they also found an alleged trail of perversion stretching from Chicago all the way to the Caribbean.

Police say photos of an unidentified teen in sexual positions were discovered, along with videotape that police say Cano shot at O'Hare Airport as he followed boys and men into the bathroom with a hidden camera to tape them as they used urinals. Cano allegedly targeted six or seven bathrooms for six or seven hours at a time.

When arrested, police found a church identification card on Cano. The church confirms his position as a minister, but had no further comment.
