'Porn Truck' Driver Showing Progress

It appears Steven D. Dutton, the man who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for  last year, is showing progress, according to a Cook County judge.

Judge Thomas J. O'Hara has been overseeing Dutton's one year of court supervision, which will be concluded in November if all continues to go well.

At a hearing Wednesday, Aug. 14 in Markham, Dutton appeared in a charcoal gray suit and wearing glasses with a blue tint. He handed O'Hara a document which presumably contained records from Sertoma Centre, a physical and mental health facility where Dutton has been living and undergoing therapy.

In his pickup truck, found—among other things—pornography, rope, whips, dildos, women's underwear and a dashboard modified to include handcuffs. Authorities say he told officers that his intentions had been innocent.

Dutton's last hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 14.

"If everything is satisfactory, I will complete [the supervision] as satisfactory," O'Hara told Dutton.
