PEORIA â A Hoopeston man has been indicted on charges of child sexual exploitation and trafficking in child pornography.

If convicted, the penalty for each of the four counts of child sexual exploitation is 15 to 30 years in prison; five to 20 years for each of the three counts of distribution and one count of receiving child pornography; and up to 20 years for the single count of possession of child pornography.
