Joliet Martial Arts School Owner Says Shorewood Man In Child Porn Case Has Nothing To Do With His Place

The Shorewood man lied on his Facebook page about his supposed affiliation with a Joliet martial arts school, the owner said.

A Shorewood man charged with possessing child pornography and trying to set up a sex date with a boy and his father lied about his affiliation with a Joliet martial arts school, the school owner said.

Cordale Hallin, 25, never worked for, trained or attended classes at SUDA International Training Center, said school owner James Hill.

"My brother and I, the Hill brothers, have been a major influence on the lives of many youths for many years," Hill said in an email. "We sacrifice a lot in our lives to provide the services that we provide to the community."

Hallin, who is being held at the Will County jail in lieu of $750,000 bond, claims on his Facebook page to work as a cashier at Jewel and at the martial arts school.

Hallin was taken into custody by the Shorewood police Wednesday. The FBI started the investigation that led to Hallin's arrest, said Shorewood Police Chief Aaron Klima.

Hallin had posted an online advertisement seeking sex with both a father and his son, Klima said. An FBI agent posing as an interested father responded and set up a rendezvous with Hallin, he said.
