A former Neosho businessman is awaiting extradition after the Newton County Sheriff's Office arrested him Tuesday on a Montgomery County, Texas warrant for promotion of child sexual abuse material.
The charges against Blake Altman, 42, are almost identical to the possession of child pornography charges that led to a grand jury indictment in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri in 2015. Altman was sentenced to six years in prison on November 29, 2017, to be followed by 10 years under supervised release.
Altman was released from prison in 2021.
According to the Montgomery County Precinct One Constable's office Facebook page, Altman was one of two people arrested for crimes "involving the exploitation of children."
The news release indicated the investigation into Altman's case is continuing.
Documents filed in Altman's earlier case indicate he told investigators he looked at child pornography to "get in the mood."
Though Altman told investigators his preference was for photos of girls around the age of 14, the materials they found on his computers showed children much younger, according to the court documents, including a photo of an approximately five-year-old girl having sex with an adult male.Other photos included pre-school age children and bestiality, according to the documents.
