A Mount Olive man has been charged with multiple counts of possessing child pornography following an investigation by the Illinois Attorney General’s Office. 69-year-old Michael F. Curran was charged last Friday in Macoupin County Court with 10 counts of possession of child pornography, part of an ongoing program to combat the trade of child pornography online.
According to a news release from the Illinois AG’s office, Curran’s home was searched on May 13 by Mount Olive Police and the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office following an investigation by state authorities. Police say they discovered evidence of the material at the home and Curran was taken into custody. Each count is a Class 2 felony punishable by up to 3-7 years in prison. Bond for Curran was set at $100,000.
