Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul announced Friday that his office has charged a Wayne County man with alleged possession of child pornography.
Raoul’s office charged 53-year-old Brian J. Wallace of Fairfield in Wayne County Circuit Court with 11 counts of possession of child pornography, Class 2 felonies each punishable by up to seven years in prison. Wallace’s bond was set at $500,000.
Raoul’s investigators, with the assistance of the Wayne County Sheriff’s office, conducted a search of Wallace’s residence in the 1900 block of Illinois Highway 15 in Fairfield and arrested him after discovering evidence of child pornography.
Attorney General Raoul’s office is partnering with Wayne County State’s Attorney Kevin Kakac’s office to prosecute the case.
