PEORIA, Ill. – A former elected official in Stark County is pleading guilty to child pornography-related charges.
Federal court records indicate Jason Musselman pleaded guilty in a Peoria courtroom Thursday to counts of Sexual Exploitation of Children, Possession of Child Pornography, and Distribution of Child Porn.
Other sexual exploitation charges were dismissed in exchange for the plea.
Musselman, of Toulon, was arrested back in mid-March, after a search of his home.
Musselman gave up his seat on the Toulon City Council, and has been publisher of a county newspaper.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 23rd.
