Illinois State Police say that two Henry County men have been arrested for disseminating child pornography.

Henry County State’s Attorney Catherine Runty tells WGIL there is no known link between the two cases.

State Police say the investigation into 41-year-old Jason J.V. Moore of Geneseo began in October.

Multiple agencies on the state and federal level worked together on the investigation which resulted in a search warrant being executed at Moore’s residence.

Investigators seized evidence supporting an arrest for child pornography.

Thursday Moore was arrested and formally charged with 5 counts of disseminating child pornography, a Class X felony.

State Police also say that on Wednesday they arrested 53-year-old Brian Duwe of Orion on similar charges including 8 Class X counts of disseminating child pornography.

Both Duwe and Moore’s bond has been set at $250,000 in Henry County Court and if they are released they’ll be ordered to have no contact with anyone under 18 years old.
