A Chicago-based private school teacher has been charged with attempted production of child pornography after federal agents became curious after he tried to re-enter the country with a 17-year-old Argentinian boy.
The two were found at Miami International Airport.
Court documents recently revealed that Emilio Vrdoljak was stopped by authorities in Miami on June 29, while he was with a 17-year-old Argentinian boy. The two had just arrived in the U.S. from Buenos Aires, according to WFLD.
The boy said Vrdoljak was his school teacher, and that he was staying with him for two weeks in the U.S. as part of his education. The boy allegedly added that Vrdoljak had asked him to sleep in the same bed while in Argentina, but he refused.
When the authorities searched Vrdoljak’s phone, they found sexual comments and photos that had been sent to a different boy who identified himself as 16 years old.
According to the affidavit, Vrdoljak sent the unidentified male an explicit video and requested one back. Officials said that the teacher and the alleged 16-year-old had chatted and exchanged images and videos over a period of several days.
When Vrdoljak was asked why he continued to communicate with the minor, he allegedly told investigators that he was “thinking with his butt.”
CWB Chicago reported that Vrdoljak was ordered by a U.S. Magistrate Judge to post $250,000 bail and remain under house arrest at his home in South Loop on July 13.
