A preliminary hearing for a former Carl Junction police officer on statutory sodomy and child molestation charges is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Friday in Barton County Circuit Court.
Seth Wilkins, 41, Jasper, allegedly had "deviate sexual intercourse" and otherwise molested a 9-year-old girl between August 1, 2022 and December 18, 2022 at a home in rural Barton County.
The child pornography was uncovered as part of an internal investigation in 2010 by the Carl Junction Police Department during Wilkins' tenure as an officer there, when he was accused of having improper online chats with minors.
The department and the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force discovered 100 child pornography videos on Wilkins' computer.
Judge David Dally approved the deal, which called for Wilkins' sentence to be immediately suspended and placed Wilkins on supervised probation for five years.
That five-year probation lasted from 2013 to 2015.
Friday's preliminary hearing may not take place, according to Barton County Circuit Court records since Wilkins' attorney asked for a change of judge. Judge Brandon Fisher denied the request, but the attorney has asked him to reconsider.

Yet another example of the failures of the Jasper County judicial system. I cannot tell you how much confidence and respect I have lost for our legal system, especially in Jasper County. If they had only done their jobs.........
A former CJ law enforcement officer and a former prosecuting attorney and Briarbrook resident. Briarbrook residents protecting a pedophile seems to be a trend. This one was back in 2013 and then most recently the CJ school board and a music teacher. When will people realize that money and power breeds in Briarbrook.
When are we gonna skip this sorry justice system and handle the business ourselves? How are people okay with seeing these stories??
7:26PM - Could Carl Junction be the next Sodom and Gomorrah?
I doubt it.
The churches and christians are thick on the ground there.
