Macomb County Man Arrested On Child Pornography Charges

Brian Loudon, 45, was arrested by Macomb County Sheriffs Dec. 30, 2017 and now faces eight counts related to the possession of child pornography, police say. The department’s Macomb Area Computer Enforcement unit received a tip about internet distribution of child pornography from the Michigan Attorney General’s Criminal Division.

Police describe seeing “several images of early pubescent females involved in activity of sexual nature” that were being electronically distributed from a location in Mt. Clemens.

Detectives found the address, a home on North Esplanade in Mt. Clemens, and conducted surveillance, eventually obtaining a search warrant. Loudon was arrested and held at the Macomb County Jail. Police describe Loudon as “cooperative,” and say that it seems unlikely anyone other than Loudon had knowledge of the alleged crimes.

Loudon was charged with five counts of child sexually abusive material (a 4-year felony), one count of child sexually abusive activity – distributing or promoting (a 7-year felony), and two counts of using computers to commit a crime (a 7-year felony).

Loudon was arraigned Wednesday in the 41-B District Court in Clinton Township and given a $30,000 bond. Loudon’s bond conditions quire him to be referred to Community Corrections and to obtain mental health treatment. Loudon will appear in court Jan. 17 for a probable cause conference.
