A Vancouver man aspiring to become a child sex abuse counselor is facing federal child pornography charges.

Bradley J. Gilliam, 24, is accused of possessing, receiving and distributing illicit images of children, including toddlers, according to Andrew Munoz, a spokesman in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Seattle office. Gilliam was arrested Tuesday and appeared in federal court in Washington on Wednesday.

Authorities traced Gilliam's IP address from his username, "Bllover69", on a peer-to-peer network to his Vancouver home.

Homeland Security investigators and local police searched Gilliam's home last summer and seized a laptop and digital storage devices as evidence, Munoz said. Thousands of images and video files depicting child pornography were found, he added.

Gilliam was a volunteer at the Camas Grace Church youth group and enrolled in courses to be a counselor. The church suspended him from participating in youth activities when they were notified, Munoz said.

Anyone with more information on this child exploitation case is asked to call Homeland Security Investigators at 360-693-7712.
