Sick pig! We live near this monster and I pray his children are removed from he and his wife's custody!

When I read stuff like this it never ceases to amaze me. How sad. This man is one disturbed individual

Why is ok to show the address on line where the poor woman is living? Doesn't she have enough to deal with? He is the accused, not her - or her children!

Showing the address was probably not a good idea, but I venture this woman had an idea what was going on especially since he was investigated back in March. My question is... Why in the world were us neighbors not notified to be in alert! There are ways to alert the neighborhood without giving any specifics! I am absolutely disgusted!

"It's private...Chris didn't hurt anybody". To the contrary, the children subjected to having their picture taken, fondled and the action with the dog were undoubtedly affected, likely for life.

While I believe they should throw the book at him for engaging in the creation and/or distribution of child pornography, I don't believe it should be illegal to download and posess it. I don't think it's anyone's business what you download.

And, no, FBI, I have never downloaded porn -- so, don't come a knocking.

Really...the mom/wife had the nerve to say that "he hasn't hurt anybody"...wow! Makes me wonder what HER role in all of this was...because as a mom of 3 beautiful children, I would not be defending a man [married or not] who was arrested for kiddie porn! Just goes to show why you have to know where and with who your kids are with at ALL times!

Bob and Mindy! If in fact this happened in their home then yes, she us to blame as much as he! If u lived next to them then u would know that she never leaves the house and I believe it would be hard for this to happen in her home without her knowing! Yes they have been investigating since Mach but it was just now that the inspection proved it was done in his home! So this whole time these poor children have been put through who knows what! I am not sure about u but yes, when homes are being raided I think I have the right to be concerned for even my childrens safety! "her poor children" yes! Her being a victim? Um no not when she defends him! I think it's u that needs to get ur story straight! When ur neighbor gets picked up on kiddie porn then u can talk to me about what to say and what not to say about them!

Do you all honestly believe she just sat around knowing this was happening, especially with children in her home? Having known someone who had this same thing happen, I KNOW that is not likely the case. My friend was horrified & shocked when her husband was found doing the same thing. Trust me, when you've lived with someone for 20+ years & this comes out of the blue at you and your husband while being investigated keeps telling you "this is all a mistake, I didn't do this" and there is nothing in the past to make you doubt him and the feds don't remove him from the home meaning they don't believe him to be a danger to the children...what else is she supposed to think. You can't really imagine that she wants to think of her husband as being a pedofile. If they initially investigated him in March & are just getting around to filing charges that means for weeks now they haven't charged him, each week probably making her feel more & more secure that he was telling her the truth. The feds don't show their hand so she has no proof contrary to what he is telling her so that just makes it harder too. She is a victim just as much as the children are. As for her defending him...I doubt that is what she was doing. In fact, this news story has changed several times since it was first published obviously correcting "facts". She probably said "that 'they' didn't do anything wrong" meaning her & the children remaining in the home.

The fact that the feds didn't remove him from the home initially doesn't make him innocent - it just means they didn't have enough proof at that time.

I am the mother of three and I am just not buying that you could be married to someone like that and not suspect it. And, my children were more important to me than my husband so I would have been out of there so fast with my kids the minute I found out that he was even suspected.

We all have to make choices in life and apparently she chose to stay with him perhaps for the income, who knows, but she chose him over her children and that makes her very guilty in my book.

Thank you Jordan! I doubt anyone stating their opinions here has any idea how hard it would be to imagine their husband as a pedofile. Also, no matter how often you are home I doubt anyone knows EVERYTHING that happens in their home. Especially when its your husband taking care of the kids. Why would you question what he was doing when he was caring for them. There are no complaining victims here (IE the kids that live there have never said daddy hurt me) The article says they have reason to believe it was created there NOT that it was. Nothing has been proven yet. I sympathize that you are worried for your children, but he no longer lives there. You want to have your opinions based off a story that you have little knowledge of, fine, but you shouldn't start pointing your fingers until you have all the facts. The way you act towards this woman now can never be taken back. Didn't your mothers ever teach you that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all?!?!?

Ellen -- That was pretty good.

Why did you change your name to "Tyler Durden" from "Ryan Whelan?" What are you afraid of, Ryan?

Exactly, we are all simply commenting on a story filled with vague "facts" that as I have pointed out previously, have changed from the original published story. It makes me sad that most of the comments seem to think the wife is as guilty/bad as the husband without any real reasoning as to why. The authors quote by her regarding "not hurting anyone" could be misquoted or taken out of context. It is apparent that only everywhere else in the USA can you be assured to be innocent until proven guilty, in Shorewood IL though you get to be judged by your neighbors without concrete facts & get the benefit of having lovely Joanna keep track of how many times you leave your home. Makes me want to move right out there...Not!

Well, the good thing is, is that I am entitled to my opinion as u are entitled to yours! I am pretty sure if something like this was happening at your neighbors house you would be well aware as well! You see that's what they call a neighborhood watch program! It's neighbors being aware of the people living in their neighborhood, where their children play! U may all think what u may of me, but I am entitled to my opinion of this family and may state it at any time! Just as all of u have stated yours! U may think I'm bad for saying she knew about it and I may think your bad for defending her! The point is we may both have our own opinion and others will have theirs also!

Jordan, If there are other, better news reports about this, why not provide some links for us?

Jordan, I do not agree with what happened to her home! I think it makes the rest if the neighborhood look bad! However as someone else stated I do find it hard to believe that she had no idea what her husband was up to. Not that I think she did it or had part in it but I think she may have had a feeling and turned an eye. In my book defending him is just as bad! I am not one to run her out of the neighborhood but u can bet I won't be baking her brownies!

Jordan, you're either stupid, a liar, or both. Here is a link to a PDF of the FBI affidavit: http://206.18.146.25/rfcViewFile/11cr563.pdf. It's graphic and disturbing, so don't read it it's going to bother you. If you do read it and find it offensive, don't blame me. The feds put it up on a public website for anyone to see. I'm just passing it along. But as far as these credible news outlets and what they don't report, check out pages six and seven, then tell me if they're credible because they leave out facts about your friends you'd rather not acknowledge.

OK, I've finally got to read the actual filed crimnal complaint & it does look like they believe that he may have created pornography in the home which is horrific, especially since it seems that it includes a family member. That does not make me stupid or a liar in stating the facts that there are other news media's out there that did not give the full address or state empathically that pornography HAD been created in the home, even the Fed's haven't charged him with creating pornography. You have also sensationalized your story by adding in the tid bit about the girl with the dog, making it seem like that also happened in the home when that is not inferred at all in the complaint. I will find the FBI blog regarding the wife & family being cleared & the FBI/local police doing the canvass regarding her innocence & post the link for you. That is where I had also read about the neighbors harrassing her & defacing her home, something Joanna has already confirmed did happen.

http://www.fbi.gov/chicago/press-releases/2011/shorewood-man-arrested-for-possession-of-child-pornography

Here is one of the FBI links regarding the story, in the FBI’s own link they say that he has only been arrested for possession, NOT for creating it as it has not yet been determined if that is the case. In fact, they write: “Investigators recognized the background on these images, indicating that they might have been taken inside KICE’s residence. This discovery led investigators to arrest KICE that same evening.”

Granted, regardless of the wording, it sounds very bad for Mr. Kice but I’ve never defended him. My concern is for the victims left behind in the home who could be harmed or ridiculed for inaccurate or misleading information. It is written in this article that, “Kice’s wife did not want to discuss her husband’s arrest.”; yet this is directly followed by a quote by her. I’d like to know the context of her comment & if it is accurate (do you have a .wav file or something similar from your conversation with her?). The poor choice of wording may have unintentional by a woman being harassed by reporters after her life has been shattered.

Jordan, nothing was taken out of context. No one was misquoted. Nothing was poorly worded. The article was not vague. It was not sensationalized. It does not lack credibility. Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, your friend's husband has been accused of possessing child pornography. And according to the FBI affidavit, he was also creating it himself, in his own home, and victimizing two young girls. The FBI could be wrong about this, or they might have fabricated these accusations for some sinister reason. I guess we'll find out. In the meantime, please stop posting foolishness and lies. And by the way, where's that link to your "FBI blog?"

Her neighbor Joanna says she can’t imagine the wife didn’t know anything about her husband’s attraction to and possible creation of child pornography because “she never leaves the house”. The stories I’ve read are saying this wife has a young child under the age of 1…unless she had a home birth I would assume that would include multiple visits to her OB/GYN, and a trip to the hospital for 1-2 days for a normal birth, 5 days to 2 weeks for a c-section or complicated birth during which time I would assume the other child would be under the care of her father for at least part of that time. Why would she question her child being in his care? Also, why would you question your husband being on the computer a lot, especially with him being an IT professional…its his job? I just worry that this poor woman is being held responsible for his actions & being treated like crap by her neighbors. I will still find the write up on a separate FBI blog regarding the wife’s innocence & the door to door visits. As a victim advocate, that is what is my priority concern.

How am I posting lies? Mr. Hosey, I did not say that the poor choice of wording was your doing, I said, "The poor choice of wording may have unintentional by a woman being harassed by reporters after her life has been shattered." That is not putting the blame on you if indeed that is what was said, I don't know, I wasn't there. I also said that I wasn't defending Mr. Kice; only the people who are victims in the house, the wife & children. Too often they are blamed for actions of others that they knew nothing about. You also say he was victimizing two young girls in his home, the affiavit does not say that the image of the girl with the dog was in the home, in fact, it is in a seperate paragraph indicating "other images" found include the image of the girl with the dog.

I have been reading this thread since the original article posted and have been reading the volley of comments since.

It is a sad commentary to our society these days, even tho this type of child abuse has been going on since before technology made it more accessible.

I shudder to think of how the parents of young children who live on or near his block feel about this and worse, the parents of the two young girls depicted in his HOME pictures. I'm sure there are a couple of father's who are trying very hard NOT to commit murder.

I just hope he gets his conviction and gets registered. I for one will be watching the FAMILY WATCH DOG site for his name when he's released...

Maybe, Eunoia — but it's a lot better than collecting child pornography!

The wife may be determined to be not guilty but that is not the same as being innocent. It just means they either have nothing or not enough to charge her with.

But she is not innocent because, as a mother, it is her job to know what is going on in her house. She failed to keep her children safe from a perv. You don't get to make excuses for failing at that. This is not an innocent woman.

Ellen, well said! I agree 100% ! I don't know what is wrong with these people believing she us a victim! The only victim is her children!

As far as the Kice's, the police are handling it just fine. We will probably never see him again and she'll be gone too. Our kids are in no danger from them.

Regarding the cowardly egg attack on the Kice's home; this was brought on by a neighbor mom who recruited her own children along with the outcast children from two other families. It was witnessed by the rest of the neighbors and children surrounding the Kice's home. The children were asked to join in on the "fun" and the parents in attendance quickly stopped them. An attempt was made to stop the rest of the vandals by phone, however the bullying to Mrs. Kice and her innocent children went as planned. Shorewood police, county, and FBI have been out to interview. So far I am not aware of any action.

I am not a friend of Kice. I did not, like other neighbors, know their names until I read it in the paper. I understand the emotion from the parents, but what have these adult provoked BULLY kids learned? These "vigilante heros" need their 15 minutes of fame too.

Don't be naive, it is a proven fact, the wife always knows.
