A Kenosha man is in jail tonight pending an indictment for possession of child pornography after investigators searched his apartment and found 100 DVDs filled with images of child porn.

Prosecutors expect Kevin Derks to be indicted Monday on at least 20 counts of possession of child pornography. Along with the pornography, investigators searching Derks apartment found child-sized and adult-sized mannikins placed in sexual poses, a leather restraint hanging in a closet, 21 firearms, some of them loaded, along with boxes of ammunition. In addition, investigators found DVDs labeled “Kenosha beaches.” Derks told investigators that for the last five years he has been taking photographs and videos of children playing on the city’s beaches.

Derks, 53, is being held pending $50,000 cash bond following a bond hearing Friday afternoon.
