October 31, 2013 (CHICAGO) -- A Frankfort man has been accused of downloading and distributing pornographic images of children.
Mark B. Smith, 53, of Frankfort was charged with six counts of possession of child porn, according to a statement from the Will County State's Attorney's office.
Multiple law enforcement agencies executed a search warrant Wednesday at Smith's home in the 400 block of Lincoln Avenue in Frankfort, following a two-month investigation, the statement said.
Smith was downloading and distributing pornographic images of children as young as 9, as well as videos of children involved in sexual encounters with adults, prosecutors allege.
The state's attorney's High Technology Crime Unit, Frankfort police, the Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the U.S. Secret Service investigated the case.
