A former Christian youth counselor and convicted sex offender, was indicted Wednesday on federal child pornography charges after investigators said they discovered two new victims.

Thomas Brian Fairclough, 37, of 746 S. Evergreen Ave., Kankakee, has been in jail and held without bond since his Oct. 27 arrest. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in Peoria on one count each of production, distribution and possession of child pornography, and one count each of advertising and receipt of child pornography.

“Fairclough admitted that he had been downloading child pornography for over 12 years,” an FBI agent said in the affidavit.

“He identified users which he traded with the most, and stated that he had about 80 users which he traded child pornography with.”
