PEORIA, Ill. – A Fulton County man will be sentenced February 24, 2022, now that he’s pleaded guilty to a federal child pornography-related charge.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says Joseph Graham, 29, of Canton, pleaded guilty Friday to a charge of Soliciting an Obscene Visual Depiction of a Minor.
Federal prosecutors say Graham messaged people he believed to be an eight-year-old and a father, agreeing to meet them in January of 2020 at a Peoria coffeehouse.
But, when Graham got there, federal agents arrested him.
Graham faces between five and 20 years in federal prison, and fines of up to $250,000. He remains in U.S. Marshals custody.
