    BATAVIA, Illinois (WBBM) — A chiropractor from Batavia, Illinois, pleaded guilty Thursday to felony counts related to secretly videotaping patients, including children, as they took off their clothes in his office.

The Kane County State’s Attorney’s office announced Thursday that Dr. David Hanson pleaded guilty to producing and disseminating child sexual abuse material, both Class X felonies.

These were two counts in a 76-count indictment against Hanson.

Kane County prosecutors said Hanson secretly videotaped patients, including children, while they undressed inside his chiropractic office, and shared the videos online.

Prosecutors said investigators found more than 180 videos of his patients as they undressed. Most were filmed on hidden cameras in a red-light room used for red-light and infrared therapy, which requires a person undergoing the therapy to undress, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors said last year that the youngest victim was just 3 years old.

Hanson also possessed and disseminated child sexual abuse material not connected to his chiropractic office, prosecutors said.

Attorney Tom Connelly filed a civil lawsuit on behalf of one woman, identified only as Jane Doe, and her two children. The complaint accuses Hanson of hiding cameras “to look like Honeywell room fans” and encouraging her to “perform stretches in the red-light room while naked.”

Kane County Judge D.J. Tegler set a sentencing hearing for Hanson for Nov. 10.

    PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (KYW) — A Philadelphia man was arrested in connection with two burglaries in Montgomery County and an attempted burglary in Chester County, authorities said Wednesday.

A source told CBS News Philadelphia the attempted burglary was of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley’s house in Tredyffrin Township.

Jabir Parker, 24, was arrested Tuesday and charged with felony burglary, conspiracy and related offenses, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said.

Investigators allege Parker burglarized two homes in Montgomery County and attempted to rob a home in Chester County between the overnight hours of June 22 and July 18. They claim Parker stole nearly $800,000 and a safe in the Philadelphia suburbs.

According to the DA’s office, Parker stole 12 pieces of jewelry worth about $106,700 during a break-in of a home in Bryn Mawr on June 22. Parker then allegedly stole 18 items of jewelry worth about $687,000 and a safe from a home in Wynnewood on July 5.

A source told CBS News Philadelphia that Parker attempted to break into Barkley’s home in Malvern on July 18.

Barkley and his family were home at the time and were awoken by suspicious sounds and called the police, a source said.

Police used cellphone location data, commonly known as geofencing, to link Parker’s phone to the crime scenes.

Investigators said they are seeking additional suspects in connection with the incidents.

The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is handling the investigation.

Parker is being held on $1 million bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 10.

    DELAWARE COUNTY, Pennsylvania (KYW) — A group of good Samaritans banded together and lifted a vintage Volkswagen Beetle off a woman pinned underneath after a crash in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.

Video shared by police in Prospect Park shows the moments after the crash at 11th and Lincoln avenues Monday morning.

Bystanders can be seen rushing toward the vehicle from different directions. Seven people eventually worked together to lift the car and pull her out from underneath, police said.

Chrissy Vollmer, owner of CV Signs LLC, and her delivery driver were among the people who stopped to help.

“There was a lot of people around,” Vollmer said. “And he said, ‘Let’s lift his car.’ And he says, ‘3, 2, 1,’ and everyone pushed up.”

Vollmer said she was working inside her shop when she heard the crash.

“I just heard a bang and a scream,” she said. “So, I ran out and I saw someone’s legs underneath the car and then the lady was screaming, ‘Get me out of this car, get this car off me.'”

Prospect Park Police Chief Dave Madonna said the woman was riding her e-bike down Lincoln Road at about 20 to 25 mph. He said the e-biker was rushing to an appointment and trying to pass a car that was making a right turn when the crash happened.

Madonna said the woman had to undergo surgery and is now recovering from chest injuries at a hospital. He added that the woman could face several hundred dollars in fines in connection with the crash.

During a news conference Wednesday, Madonna emphasized the actions of the bystanders who stopped to help.

“It was an admirable scene, and to be honest with you, it’s something I haven’t seen maybe in my 30 years of doing this,” Vollmer said.

Madonna called the rescue “heroism in its purest form.”

But Vollmer said she was just doing what anyone else would have done.

“I don’t know if I’m really a hero, but I was happy to be there that day,” she said. “And I’m happy that everyone’s OK.”

Police said the Volkswagen driver was not at fault in the crash. He was using his turn signal as he turned into the intersection, and then the e-bike collided with the car.

Police are working to identify all of the good Samaritans seen in the surveillance video so they can be properly commended at a future borough council meeting.

    NEW YORK, New York (WCBS) — An off-duty volunteer EMT was honored Wednesday for saving a man’s life at the 2026 New York Knicks Championship parade.

On Wednesday, Simone Kelly received the Lifesaving Award for Extraordinary Personal Action from The American Red Cross in Greater New York.

Kelly was enjoying the festivities on June 18 when she noticed a man climb on top of a subway station entrance, then pass out.

“If someone was closer and someone was gonna get there, I don’t feel the need to stick my nose in every situation,” she said. “However, you know, after probably 30 seconds of nothing happening, I said, ‘I cannot sit here any longer. I’m going to be the one to jump in.'”

Kelly and other parade-goers sprung into action and administered the overdose reversal drug Naloxone, also known as Narcan.

“Overdose is the leading cause of death for adults ages 18 to 44. And that is a number that I am uncomfortable with and that’s why I get trained,” Kelly said.

They kept an eye on him until EMS and police arrived.

“The message I think people should take away is get trained, get yourself prepared so that you can act. But the other message is be courageous,” said Doreen Howe, CEO of the American Red Cross in Greater New York. “Be willing to step forward and help someone else when they’re in need. Don’t just stand back. Step forward.”

Kelly is a member of the South Orange Volunteer Rescue Squad in New Jersey and also previously worked as a lifeguard. She said she hopes others are inspired to intervene when they see someone in need.

“We have gotten comfortable stepping over bodies, and I think we should be a little more comfortable stopping,” she said.

Kelly is currently studying neuroscience in Madison, New Jersey, with plans to pursue emergency psychiatry in medical school.

    BROOKLYN, New York (WCBS) — Imagine getting invited to a family Zoom call, and having more cousins than you can fit in Yankee Stadium.

For the Wyckoff family, that is not so far-fetched.

The Wyckoff name has been part of Brooklyn’s history for hundreds of years. The family traces its American roots to Pieter Claesen Wyckoff, who settled in the New World in the 1600s.

Ten generations later, Matt Wycoff is still learning about the ancestor who started it all.

“It’s definitely neat. I feel very lucky. You hear stories of people getting interested in genealogy, especially as they get older. And all that work was kind of already done for me,” Matt Wycoff said.

Dani Wyckoff is another branch of the sprawling family tree. She said the name has followed her across the country.

“I’ve run into people with the same last name at restaurants in California … They’re everywhere,” she said.

And sometimes, strangers recognize the connection.

“I’m checking in for the reservation. They’re like, ‘Oh wait, that’s my last name, that’s crazy,'” Dani Wyckoff said.

The family has even had a dedicated genealogist: Jason Wyckoff, a 13th-generation descendant and family historian associated with the Wyckoff House Museum.

“There’s Wyckoff town in New Jersey, there’s Wyckoff Lake in Michigan, this Wyckoff mountain in Montana, there’s even a glacier in Antarctica named Wyckoff Glacier,” he said of the family’s impact.

The family’s history is extensively documented through old records and books, tracing descendants through generations of early Brooklyn history.

Those descendants served in America’s wars, married into presidential families, and became pioneers in fields including art, science and film.

Today, the Wyckoff family in America operates as a genealogical organization with a database containing more than 65,000 family members across 18 generations.

The family’s history is centered around the Wyckoff House Museum, the homestead of their ancestor and a site believed to be the oldest standing structure in New York state. Its oldest part dates back to the 1650s.

And even 65,000 documented descendants may be only a fraction of the larger family.

“My conservative estimate thinks that there’s probably over a half million folks who really are what I would call a cousin,” Jason Wyckoff said.

For Matt Wycoff, who said he didn’t know of his family ancestry until he was cleaning out his late grandfather’s house, the most meaningful part of that history is the story of the immigrant who started it all.

“That’s the part of his story that I really connect with is that, you know, that he went on this grand adventure and was an immigrant to this country. Like virtually everyone else,” he said.

A grand adventure that created a family so large, you’re bound to run into a cousin in nearly every state.

    LEXINGTON, Kentucky (WLEX) — Kentucky students are learning more than healthy habits through a program designed to teach potentially lifesaving skills.

The American Heart Association’s Kids Heart Challenge is a three-week program for students from pre-K through fifth grade. The program combines lessons on healthy living with training in skills such as Hands-Only CPR.

The American Heart Association says more than 350,000 people experience sudden cardiac arrest outside a hospital each year, including about 23,000 children.

Through the Kids Heart Challenge, students learn about healthy eating, sleep and physical activity. Families can also participate by learning Hands-Only CPR.

“Not only are students learning these healthy habits and skills, but their parents are able to also learn these life-saving skills, and then they become first responders in their own communities,” said Josie Bailey, School Engagement Director for the American Heart Association.

More than 200 Kentucky schools participated in the program last year, including about 50 schools in the Fayette County area.

Bailey said the program is available to schools across Kentucky, with the goal of creating more people who are prepared to respond during an emergency.

Schools can choose when to participate in the three-week Kids Heart Challenge.
