A Fairfield man has been charged with crimes involving child pornography. 53-year-old Brian K. Simpson appeared in Wayne County Circuit Court last Thursday before Judge Matt Vaughn, facing five Class-X felony counts related to the possession of child pornography involving victims under the age of 13.
Simpson was arrested on June 10th following an investigation by law enforcement authorities into the possession of illicit material dating back to November 2024. He is represented by Attorney, Jon Meador.
Wayne County State’s Attorney Kyle Ellis has filed the most serious charges under Illinois law, and has also petitioned to deny Simpson’s pretrial release due to the severity of the allegations.
His arraignment is scheduled for June 24th at 9 a.m. in Wayne County Circuit Court. Simpson remains in custody at the Wayne County Jail.
