The indictment alleges that Saal knowingly solicited material that contains an obscene visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct, and knowingly distributed child pornography in Tazwell County and elsewhere in the Central District of Illinois.
Saal is currently in custody of the United States Marshal Service.
If convicted, the maximum statutory penalties for the alleged crimes charged are 20-year terms of imprisonment for each count, a $250,000 fine and up to a lifetime term of supervised release. Special assessments also apply.
