FRANKLIN COUNTY — A 38-year-old Belle Rive man charged in Franklin County Court with child pornography among other child sex-related offenses indicated in court Thursday that he’ll be changing his not guilty plea in the case.
Brian C. Johnson is facing charges of Class X felony child pornography, four Class 4 felony counts of grooming a child, one Class 3 charge of traveling to meet a child, and four misdemeanor counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Johnson pleaded not guilty during his formal arraignment on the charges in June. He was released from the Franklin County Jail after posting $30,000 cash bond.
Johnson is scheduled to enter a plea change in the case on January 25th.
