(WAND) - A school bus driver from Greenup, Illinois, has been arrested for charges of child pornography.
Karl Kimble, 54, was arrested on Thursday after investigators from the Attorney General's Office discovered evidence of child pornography at his home in the 600 block of E. Illinois St. in Greenup.
According to Prosecutors, Kimble works for Illinois Central School Bus Company, where he drives a route for the Charleston, Illinois, school district.
Kimble was charged by the Cumberland County Circuit Court with one Class X felony count of dissemination of child pornography, punishable by up to 30 years in prison; and five Class 2 felony counts of possession of child pornography, punishable by up to seven years in prison.
He is currently detained at the Cumberland County Jail, and his next court date is scheduled for May 5.
“Holding child predators who exploit children accountable can help survivors and their families heal from the terrible trauma they have experienced,” Attorney General Kwame Raoul said. “My office’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force will continue to partner with local law enforcement agencies to locate and bring to justice individuals who exploit minors.”
