FRANKLIN CO., Ill. - An arrest has been made of a Benton man charged with counts relating to alleged sexual activity with children.
Franklin County authorities said that on December 22, 2018, deputies arrested Quinton C. Wilson, 31, of Benton at his residence.
Wilson has been charged with Grooming, a Class 4 felony, and Child Pornography, a Class 1 felony.
Detectives served a search warrant at Wilson’s residence this morning and Franklin authorities note that the investigation is ongoing.
Our sources are advising that at one point in time (if not recently; we're still working on obtaining that information), Wilson had been employed in some capacity by Lutheran Social Services...one of those agencies that the Department of Children and Family Service (DCFS) feeds children into during those rare moments when DCFS wants to appear as though they're doing their job.
Wilson is currently being held in the Franklin County jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.
