The sentencing of Matthew Derr was postponed Thursday after Judge Terry Patton ruled that a mandatory report necessary for sentencing was incomplete.

Derr, 31, was arrested by the Kewanee Police Department in May of 2024 after a cyber tip from the Illinois Attorney General’s Office led to an investigation. He was found guilty of one count of possession of child pornography in a bench trial in February.

During the trial, evidence against Derr included testimony from Kewanee Det. Trey Kazubowski and a graphic video depicting explicit images of a man and a much smaller female engaged in a sexual act. The judge found Derr guilty of the offense and set his sentencing hearing for April 3.

But at the start of Thursday’s hearing, Henry County State’s Attorney Catherine Runty brought several discrepancies in the sex offender investigation report to the judge’s attention. While Derr’s attorney, Lance Camp, told the court that they were willing to proceed with sentencing in spite of the discrepancies, the judge wasn’t.

“I don’t see how I can go to sentencing without a complete report,” Judge Patton said.

The case was continued and a new date for sentencing was set for April 25 at 11 a.m. at the Henry County Courthouse.

Possession of child pornography is a Class 2 felony, punishable by a sentence of 3-7 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
