N.D. Ill., E. Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed
In prosecution on child pornography and distribution charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant's motion to suppress confession to possession of child pornography that was made prior to issuance of Miranda warnings and took place in private office within college police station. Dist. Ct. could properly find that defendant was not in custody at time of questioning where defendant agreed to accompany police officers to said station and was not physically touched or restrained during questioning, and where defendant was told he was not under arrest and was allowed to leave unescorted after giving statement.
