	Church Music Director Charged with Having Child Porn By Art Barnum Chicago Press Release Services January 20, 2010 http://chicagopressrelease.com/press-releases/church-music-director-charged-with-having-child-porn GLEN ELLYN (IL) -- A Glen Ellyn church music director and his roommate have been charged with possession of child pornography, authorities said today. Brian Milnikel, 45, music director at St. James the Apostle Roman Catholic School in the western suburb, and Christopher Kontopoulos, 20, both of the 800 block of Nelli Court in Naperville, had bonds of $200,000 and $100,000 respectively set for them this morning by DuPage Judge Liam Brennan. (An earlier version of this story inaccurately reported the name of the church.) Assistant States Attorney Brian Perkins told Brennan that Naperville police have been investigating the pair since October. "They both admitted downloading the videos and that they watched them together," Perkins said. Milnikel told Brennan that he was the full-time music director at the school and had been a music instructor for over 20 years. Barry Lewis, an attorney representing Kontopoulos told Brennan that if his client posts bond, he was going to move in with his parents in Glenview. "Your honor, there is a great likelihood that Chris was under the domination of a much older person," Lewis said. Brennan, as a condition of bond, banned the defendants' use of the Internet and computer, and ordered them not to have any contact with anyone under 18 years old.
