CHICAGO — A suburban dentist has been charged with possessing child pornography during an incident near North Avenue Beach, police said.

At 4:15 p.m. Friday, Gregory Stump, 68, was arrested while secretly recording a 16-year-old boy in a bathroom in the 1600 block of North Lake Shore Drive, police said.

Prosecutors said the boy had gone into the bathroom and was changing out of his suit when Stump held his cellphone over the stall divider and used it to watch the boy change, according to court documents.

According to court documents, somebody told a nearby police officer that someone was filming in the bathroom.

The officer went into the bathroom and saw a cellphone hanging over a stall divider so it could face the next stall, according to court documents. The officer looked into the stall with the phone and saw Stump, naked and holding the phone while touching himself, according to court documents.

The officer told Stump to dress and get out of the stall, and he was arrested, according to court documents.

Officers later searched Stump's phone and found an image of a young boy using a urinal in the bathroom, with the boy and his nearby father not appearing to notice they were being photographed, according to court documents. Officers also found a video of a young boy inside a bathroom stall and pulling up his shorts.

Officers also found several photos of men using the urinals in the bathroom, with at least one photo showing nudity, according to court documents.

The photos and video appeared to have been taken between Thursday and Friday in the public bathroom where Stump was arrested, according to court documents.

Stump, of Schaumburg, was charged with possession of child pornography, police said.

Stump pleaded guilty in 2014 to a public indecency charge after being arrested in the Busse Woods North Grove near Elk Grove Village, according to the Tribune. In that case, he was reportedly caught performing oral sex on a man.

Stump's bail was set at $75,000, according to Cook County Sheriff's Office records, and his next court date was scheduled for Aug. 11.
