RIP, a sad situation. Thanks to the people who's hard job it is to sort this out. As to the article, I love the picture of the duck.

Where is this creek? By Plainfield Central High School?

How horrible.

between I55 and Lily cashe plaza on rt 30 across st from flea market

The location of this vehicle was in the area of Route 30, east of Lily Cache Road. The vehicle was approx 100-150 yds south of Rt 30. It was located behind the Route 30 Plex/Flea Market. Hard to see from Route 30

from view i saw on news I thought it was across the street from flea market my bad

George was one of my best friends! He was the most kind hearted person I had ever met and Would do literally anything within his powers to help someone out. He was a Loyal and trustworthy man to many friends and family members. Please DO NOT defame his name "CLUTCHE"... You do not know the extent of what his coonviction was even for...To know him is to love him.. Lesson learned.. Hold those close to you because you never know when something so horrible could happen. He is in a much better place now though. We love you George!

This man was a sex offender!!! Felt sorry until I found that out by own research... Karma is a bIt@h!!!!

Go dig your face in your bible some more- actually, you may be the same as this sick Popsicle was!

This man was arrested 6 times for child pornography... No sympathy! PERIOD! This was HIS road to hell

I knew george as well and he was very polite and a nice person. He was a son, someone's brother, hardworking person at his father's business. He began attending church regularly. i don't know the whole story behind what happened years ago, but neither do you guys. Please let this man rest in peace

A. Whitehead, are you seriously defending a child pornographer? His conviction was for age 0. Yeah, he was a great guy, as long as you were over the age of 1.

Patch....Under your "acceptable use terms" there is no reference, pro or con, to the use of scripture. Why isn't it allowed?

Is this the reason two helicopters where hoovering over the WInding Creek Subdivision?

Yes, it was just north of winding creek

You pathetic people have nothing better to do then try and turn people against someone that is dead. What do you gain out of trying to pull things out of his past and who are you to say anyone deserves to die? Especially someone you know nothing about. George was a great person and everyone that knew him loved him.

Polite, nice, hardworking, great, loved. It doesn't change the fact that he was a child pornographer. There are some crimes for which there is no earthly redemption, and this is one of them.

I wish all the sexual predators in the area would follow in his footsteps

Obviously you know NOTHING about redemption that only the blood of Jesus has paid for. He paid for all of our sins a sin is a sin no matter what that sin is, he does not look at sin in a different light that man does.If you break one part of the law you break it all.Weather murder or stealing it is all the same to him Thank God for his redemption.Man cannot redeem man. He who is without SIN let him cast the first stone and we will see how many stones are cast .Remember my brothers to judge is to be judged yourself with the same degree that you judge.

OMG

This guy doesn't look ashamed or remorseful in any of his SIX mug shots. I'm sure he was a real stand up guy. Anyone defending a child predator is just as sick and twisted as the predator himself. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways, sometimes his work is obvious. Hopefully his victim(s) will find solace knowing he cannot hurt anyone else ever again.

Yes George was a great guy, only meeting him around 10 times he was always there offering his help to anyone that might need it along with his knowledge about cars. He seemed like a very heart felt person from day one and ill never forget having dinner at Mongolian BBQ with him and one of my best friends Arien whitehead ! We miss you George, wish I could have said goodbye! Love you Arien keep your head up man...

Slow down on that lynch mob guys. Possession of child pornography is the federales' preferred charge to get leverage over someone, because the evidence is easy to 'find' and there is no practical defense. If they want to lean on you, this is how they'll do it. It's the FBI/CIA version of the beat cop slipping a crack rock into your pocket during a patdown.

Forgiven,
You are mixing the moral definition of sin with the human definition of law. Speeding is not looked at equally as child pornography. Jesus did not die on a cross to forgive us for jaywalking. You are also omitting that there IS one unforgivable sin, so not ALL sin is looked on equally by God..which by definition means that God DOES 'rate' our 'sins'. BUT...in order for your argument to even hold a drop of water, he would have had to have asked to be forgiven for his sins, and done his best to rectify them. Did he show any sympathy for the victims? Empathy? ANY signs of remorse? Did he start working to actively help police find other child pornographers etc? Going to church, does not a Christian make...

You people are horrible. you have no right to judge someone or a situation that you have no clue what happened. You read something on the internet and it must be true, right? Grow up. What about all the things that you have done in your life? I am pretty sure there are things a few questionable things. So leave this poor man alone because you didn't know him. And you are right karma is a bitch and for all the bull you say will come back to bite you in the butt. He didn't hurt anyone, where do you people get this information from?! If you have no idea what you're talking about then don't say anything at all. He was someone's son, nephew, and a friend. Rest in Peace George. You will be missed! As for the rest of you, go to hell, this is a terrible time for the family and friends that actually knew him, give us some respect. I am sure that's what you guys would have liked if this would have happened to you

All your comments here show where crazy town USA is and now the internets knows this..... also, although troll language but not trying to troll... there is no god... not there.. doesn't exist... sorry....

>>It's the FBI/CIA version of the beat cop slipping a crack rock into your pocket during a patdown.

Right. Because the CIA has a big hard-on for some random mope from Joliet.

You internet trolls are all the same. You think you are so intelligent and try to argue things you know absolutly nothing about by relying on Google. Not everything is as black and white as it seems. We that knew George all loved him and some random people omline arent going to change our minds so why are you still wasting your time? Oh, right. You have nothing better to do. Go get a job or different hobby. You know whats worse than a child pornagrapher? A scavenger. Thats you, stop attacking the dead.

George you were a kind person I cannot believe this happened. You will be missed always

George was my older brother. I knew him for the 28 years that I have been on this earth. He was a good man. He loved racing of any kind and he loved the joy it brought to others. He was the kind of man who would do anything for his friends and family and often helped me work on my car.

He never hurt anyone in his life and you could not ask for a better friend and brother. He was religious and much of his life was devoted to being a good person. Yes he had a conviction years ago but he never hurt anyone, especially not a child. For those who think you know him or what happened from something you read on the internet you are mistaken. But I can understand that if you did not know him and see that label there is no way that you can really know what happened and I might even have that same reaction were I in the same place and did not know the truth or how that label is thrown around in our society.

Thanks for the supportive messages that some of you have left, I really appreciate them.

We love you George. We'll miss you.

Listen to yourselves, if you have an ignorant judgemental comment to make keep it to yourselves. George was a VERY Good person to all strangers of all sort. He wouldn't hurt a fly he is the type of person to give more than just some spare change. If you lowlifes think your actually getting anywhere with making absurd remarks your wrong! George c weathered was very much loved and will be very much missed

George was like a son....He was a very likeable person..... How could you not like George? I still cannot believe he is gone....... I do know this. I will always hold a special place in my heart for George......I do not care about heresay or gossip.... George made an imprint on my life..... God bless his family at this very difficult time.

Never hurt anyone? Heresay or gossip? Absurd remarks? He is a registered sex offender in the Illinois State Police database, for the crime of child pornography. He was 24 years old and the VICTIM was age 0. He wasn't CONVICTED for possession of child pornography, he was CONVICTED for the reproduction and sale of child pornography. Those are facts. How can you not comprehend that?

Reproduction and sale are the same category. It does not mean you have done both. All you would have to do for reproduction of child porn is accident open the file on a file share site because then after things download on a file share they seed.

On his computer Feds found hundreds of pictures and movies of children being sexually assaulted.

Please refrain from using words like slander, unless you actually grasp their meaning. Your naivete over how this was just one big misunderstanding/accident is as shocking as your lack of knowledge of how file sharing works.

HUNDREDS OF PICTURES AND MOVIES OF CHILDREN BEING SEXUALLY ASSAULTED. haha and these morons are defending this sick sick sick person. Note to self: Never go to Joliet!

I CAN understand you defending your brother/friend/son... but to call other people lowlifes and internet trolls is alittle cowardly... George, whether you loved him or not was found LEGALLY GUILTY of sharing "HUNDREDS" (not just one or two)"HUNDREDS" of videos of CHILDREN, Let me say it again, CHILDREN being SEXUALLY abused. I'm not saying he didn't turnover a new leaf, But first impressions are a bitch! He chose to label himself with that stigma when he did what he did instead of seeking help to his illness. Does this mean he "deserved to die", Hell NO! And God help those people who would let those words slip from their lips,(fingers) To George's family/Brother: I am sorry for your loss, and I know nothing will ever fill that void that his untimely death has caused. To the friends: But please pull your head out of the sand and have a little understanding of why people are saying what they are saying. These were innocent Children. I know he didn't personally touch them himself, but there are laws against what he did, and justice was served. Now my question to you the naysayers: Should he have to pay for his mistakes in death too?

Wow!

How about we all stop talking about this because as I stated before, this is a difficult time for the family and friends. Give us some respect. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. We all make mistakes but we shouldn't be remembered for them, we should be remembered for the good that we have done before and after such mistakes. Just leave it be people.
