Maxwell Bonds

A Plainfield man is facing three counts of possession of child pornography.

Maxwell Bonds, 23, was arrested after an Illinois State Police investigation.

Possession of child pornography is a Class 2 felony, punishable by three to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.

Illinois State Police Division of Criminal Investigation Zone 1 troopers initiated the investigation. Agents executed a residential search warrant on Wednesday, Sept. 13 and allegedly located evidence of child pornography.

Bonds was transported to Will County Jail and was being held pending a bond hearing.

The State Police noted that they provide resources for parents, options for residents to report crimes against children, and for victims to start their path toward healing and recovery.
