BRANDON LORD

A Barry man, Brandon Lord, 29, has been sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to the offense of Child Pornography, a class X felony. He also received felony probation for the offenses of unlawful possession of methamphetamine and another count of child pornography.
Lord was sentenced Dec. 6 in Pike County Circuit Court.
Pike County Sheriff David Greenwood said the investigation began in May of 2022, when information was received regarding the possession and reproduction of child pornography.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Department, Illinois State Police, and the Illinois Attorney General’s Office executed a court-authorized search warrant at a residence located in rural Barry, July 5. Following the execution of the search warrant, Lord was arrested and lodged in the Pike County Jail on child pornography and methamphetamine related charges.
Lord was accused of possessing and disseminating videos, via an electronic device, of children under the age of 13 engaged in sexual acts.
The Pike County Sheriff’s Department executed multiple search warrants and was successfully able to identify, locate, and arrest Lord.
Sheriff Greenwood said his agency is a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and is headed by Chief Deputy Zack Orr. The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program (ICAC program) helps state and local law enforcement agencies develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and Internet crimes against children.
