URBANA, Ill. (WAND) – A Decatur man was sentenced on Tuesday, for charges of child pornography. 

Brian R. Lewis, 46, was sentenced to 63 months’, to be followed by six years of supervised release. 

Lewis was found guilty following a jury trial in Peoria, Illinois, in fall 2023.

According to Prosecutors, in July 2020 investigators found Lewis with a cell phone containing images of child porn. The investigation began after the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a cyber tip.

Prosecutors say the images found in Lewis’s possession included six known victims from previous cases.

A Judge ordered Lewis to pay restitution totaling $7,000 to two victims and to register as a sex offender.
