MADISON, Wis. — A Wisconsin man transformed his apartment into a pornographic shrine to young girls, arranging mannequins in a sex act, plastering the walls with photos and setting up a bed covered with stuffed animals, investigators said Monday.
Kevin M. Derks' collection featured photographs of Hollywood starlets, including a poster of actresses Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen with a caption inviting himself to join in sex acts with them, DVDs of child pornography and photos he said he took of girls at local beaches.
Prosecutors charged Derks, 53, of Kenosha, with 20 felony counts of possessing child pornography. His attorney, Nancy Barasch, said she had just learned of the case Monday afternoon and knew little about Derks so far.
A criminal complaint said Derks allegedly told investigators the world has gotten "worse and worse" so he turned to children because they are beautiful. He denied ever having sexual contact with a child, and said no children had been to his apartment in the town of Kenosha and that he never tried to lure any there.
State Department of Justice agents learned about Derks through a tip from federal immigration officials investigating online child pornography. They said Derks purchased a 30-day membership to a site in 2006, according to court documents.

Yes, I’m afraid that day is coming but I won’t be
alive to see it.
Top O’ the world Ma! Top O’the world!
“Pretty scary when you can be arrested for joining an internet site.”
Well, if you are going to join a child porn site, I think that’s pretty scary.
It should be illegal to pay for the torture of people. I guess I’m just a nanny stater.
It’s sufficient now, they just haven’t grasped the
lever of power firmly enough yet.
That’s the bad part of the internet, people become too
comfortable with it and it lasts forever.
I certainly expect that it will be held against us
some day. By that time I hope I have struck at least
one blow for freedom no matter the cost.
