(Quincy, IL) -- A Quincy, Illinois woman is behind bars, facing child pornography charges.
On Thursday, Quincy Police announced the arrest of 30 year old Ashley Toohey on seven warrants out of Adams County for the reproduction of child pornography involving children under 13 years of age and possession of child pornography.
Police say an investigation began in September 2020 after Facebook flagged an account for possible child exploitative material. Investigators say multiple search warrants were executed on various social media and internet-related entities, and ultimately an arrest was issued for Toohey.
Toohey was taken to the Adams County Jail where her bond was set at $75,000. According to Adams County public court records, Toohey was also currently on bond for two separate felonies cases, Possession of Meth and Forgery. She is scheduled for a Plea and Sentencing on those two felonies on June 3rd.
