Arraignment Set for Orland Man on Child Porn Charges
Eric Holt, 28, is set to enter his plea on felony possession of child porn charges in a Bridgeview courtroom on Dec. 4.
The case against a 28-year-old Orland Park man charged with felony possession of child pornography after police said they found the images on his computer is moving forward, with the arraigment set for Dec. 4.
Eric Holt appeared briefly in Judge Peter Felice's Markham courtroom Tuesday. He is out on $100,000 bond on the charges and is also on electronic monitoring.
Dressed casually in a black jacket, black shirt and jeans, Holt didn't speak during the brief hearing. A public defender initially assigned to the case withdrew as Holt stood next to an attorney who filed her appearance on behalf of a colleague at her law firm.
