Romanucci & Blandin Investigates Suburban Ice Cream Shop Owner Charged with Child Porn and Taking Videos in Shop Bathroom

Law Firm Represents Multiple Individuals with Concerns They Were Exploited and Secretly Photographed

(CHICAGO, August 18, 2025) – There is nothing more distressing, disgusting or vile than a sexual predator who creates an illusion of safety only to prey on unsuspecting people, particularly children. Romanucci & Blandin is commencing a civil investigation into just such allegations at a Chicago suburban ice cream shop where prosecutors now say multiple innocent adults and children were exploited and secretly recorded in the restroom by the shop’s owner.

Romanucci & Blandin, a national trial firm based in Chicago with extensive experience representing survivors of sexual abuse by clergy, scout leaders and other figures of authority, now represents multiple individuals with concerns that their privacy or that of their loved ones has been violated at this trusted local business.

The ice cream shop is Flavor Frenzy at 48 W. Lake Street in Addison. Shop owner, Steven Weisberg, 58, is charged with two counts of child pornography and two counts of unauthorized video recording for what reports say was a hidden recording device in the shop’s restroom. Addison Police add that they recovered evidence of recordings of female employees, including minors, and that Weisberg encouraged them to try on shop t-shirts in the restroom and remove their bras while doing so. Weisberg’s pre-trial release has been denied, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.

“The audacity of this alleged video recording scheme is appalling, and we commend Addison Police for their investigation,” said Antonio M. Romanucci, Founding Partner of Romanucci & Blandin, LLC. “The premise that this ice cream shop attracted employees and customers from the community only to secretly violate their privacy is deeply troubling. We believe innocent children have been exploited inappropriately and negligently at this business. Our clients are distressed that they may have been violated by a predator without their knowledge or consent, and we will use every means possible to understand what went down at that shop and examine all paths to accountability.”
