Frankfort Man Charged With Child Porn

The Will County Sheriff's Office arrested 31-year-old Sean Fields at his residence on Monday.

FRANKFORT, IL — A Frankfort man was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography on Monday after Will County Sheriff's Police said he "made statements incriminating himself" during an investigation.

Sean Fields, 31, of the 7500 block of Inverness Lane was arrested after detectives executed a search warrant at his residence, according to a news release from the Will County Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office was first contacted in March by the National Center for missing and Exploited Children regarding an IP address that contained "thousands of child pornography images," according to the release. Detectives determined after a thorough investigation that the images had been downloaded from a residence in Frankfort Township.
