Keith Farnham, 66, was a Democrat State Representative until last month when both his home and congressional offices were raided by federal agents. Then, Farnham abruptly resigned on March 19, citing health concerns.
Farnham, a Democrat from Elgin, a suburb of Chicago, was charged on Monday with engaging in graphic online chats bragging about molesting a six year-old girl, and with using both his personal and government-owned computers to trade hundreds of images and videos of child pornography, according to the Chicago Tribune.
In the same ironic fashion that California Democrat State Senator Leland Yee, a major proponent of gun-control, was charged with illegal gun-running, Farnham had ironically and hypocritically twice co-sponsored legislation which would toughen penalties for child pornography.
Farnham allegedly said in one online chat that he preferred 6 to 8 year olds and allegedly said that “12 is about as old as I can handle.”
