Joplin man indicted on child porn charge

(From the U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri)

A Joplin, Mo., man was indicted by a federal grand jury today for receiving child pornography over the Internet.

Tanner Miller, 22, of Joplin, was charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Springfield, Mo.

Today’s indictment alleges that Miller received child pornography over the Internet between Oct. 1, 2012, and June 11, 2015.

U. S. Attorney Tammy Dickinson cautioned that the charge contained in this indictment is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charge must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crime Task Force.
