Man arrested on child pornography charges

A 47-year-old Aurora, Illinois man wanted by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office for possessing child pornography was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshal’s Office in Illinois on Thursday without incident.

Robert William Chiocca faces more than 261 counts of child pornography-related offenses.

The Sheriff’s Office began investigating in January 2023 following a complaint by a female who suspected Chiocca videotaped her taking a shower at an Islamorada hotel.

A large amount of child pornography was subsequently found on Chiocca’s phone.

Warrants were obtained for Chiocca’s arrest.

Police in Illinois are also investigating Chiocca and more charges may be pending.
