CHAMPAIGN COUNTY, Ill. — An Urbana man is facing charges of child pornography possession.
In March of 2024, the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office received a cyber tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). According to the tip, 26-year-old Jesus Gonzalez-Martinez was in possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).
The sheriff’s office conducted a “thorough investigation,” and detectives confirmed that the material was linked to Gonzalez-Martinez. He was arrested, and police said he later confessed to possessing the material.
Now, Gonzalez-Martinez is facing three counts of child pornography possession. On Thursday, he appeared in court for his arraignment, entered a plea of not guilty and requested a trial by jury. On Friday, he’ll be back in court for a detention hearing.
The Champaign County Sheriff’s Department said that this remains an “active and ongoing investigation.”
