BLOOMINGTON – After a four-day trial, a 57-year-old Normal man has been found guilty of 10 counts of possession of child pornography.
A jury found Jeffrey Martin guilty on Thursday.
According to the McLean County State’s Attorney, eight of the counts are class two felonies, which are subject to three to seven years in prison. Two of the counts are class three felonies, subjected to two to five years in prison.
State’s Attorney Erika Reynolds says in a statement that the verdict was a result of an investigation between the Normal and Bloomington Police Departments into child porn identified on a computer later determined to belong to Martin.
Reynolds adds Martin also faces 51 contempt citations for his actions during the four-day trial, which carry up to six months in prison for each charge.
“This verdict would not have been possible but for the cooperation of civilian witnesses, the great work of the Normal Police Department in conjunction with the Bloomington Police Department, and the lead prosecutor Assistant State’s Attorney Kirk Schoenbein,” said Reynolds in a prepared statement.
Martin is set to be sentenced on February 3rd.
