The State Journal-Register reports:
A Petersburg man was arrested Wednesday on child pornography charges, bringing an end to a four-month investigation.
The Athens Police Department said that Adam L. Power, 29, was charged with possession of child pornography, a class 2 felony. The investigation began in December when APD learned that someone was using an online platform in the area to distribute child pornography.
Power was being held in the Menard County Jail. In addition to the AG’s office, Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 4, the Petersburg Police Department and the Menard County Sheriff’s Office all assisted in the investigation.
The Springfield Courier-Journal reports:
Power was theater teacher at Our Saviour School from August 2015 to January 2019, according to a spokesman for the Diocese of Springfield, which oversees the Jacksonville school. He also previously served as choir director at Central Christian Church in Jacksonville.
“Our Saviour Catholic School and the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois are committed to the protection of all children and work in partnership with local agencies to prevent any child from being harmed,” spokesman Andrew Hansen said.
We’re curious why Power left both of those jobs.
