A 24-year-old man who volunteered at a Camas church youth group and was reportedly studying to become a child sex abuse counselor was taken into custody this week on federal child pornography charges.

Bradley J. Gilliam of Vancouver was arrested Tuesday on counts of possession, receipt and distribution of child pornography, following an ongoing, multiagency investigation lead by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

According to a press release from ICE, Gilliam is accused of sharing illicit images through a peer-to-peer online network, where he used the username ‘Bllover69.’ Investigators traced the username to Gilliam’s Vancouver residence using his Internet protocol address.
