Illinois representative Keith Farnham has been charged with using state and personal computers to trade child pornography.

The 66-year-old allegedly boasted about molesting a six-year-old girl and used online chat rooms to discuss his fantasies.

When he resigned on March 19, one week after his Elgin office and home were raided, he claimed he was standing down because of health concerns.

On Monday the Democrat, who twice sponsored Bills to impose stricter sentences on pedophiles, was accused of using online chat rooms to trade images and videos of child abuse.

Authorities linked a Yahoo! email account used by the married father-of-one to an online trading forum, the Chicago Tribune reported. Allegations: Farnham, 66, is accused of trading graphic images and videos +3

I think the jury has enough to work with there, as long as it isn’t too liberal.

......described molesting a six-year-old girl and having sexual intercourse with the child's mother while the girl watched.

So 12 is too old but he's doing one of his victim's mother?

So glad we’re investigated to make sure we’re paying our taxes so this sort of guy gets his paycheck.

Remember, he’s exempt from Obamacare:)

In 10 years this will not be a crime anymore. In fact, they will have special non-discrimination rights.

He should be castrated with a dull butter knife and left to die in a sewer. That mother should be sterilized and left to rot in solitary confinement. All pedophiles should be killed.

It’s so hard to believe it makes me wonder if someone is doing a hatchet job on him.

I know that is likely not true, but it is that hard to believe looking at his picture, he looks so innocuous.

The hounds of hell have been unleashed in our country....if this is even a country any longer. Think of what the Untied States was, in say, 1959, and look around now.

I really hope your prediction is wrong about the age of consent being dramatically lowered, if not all together eliminated. If this comes anywhere close to being the accepted norm, you can count on explosive crimes of anger by school kids to start occurring every other day. Their goals will be to destroy people and or property with a total lack of empathy. That total lack of empathy or personalization will represent how the deranged kids feel life has been presented to them.
