Federal grand jury indicts Anderson man on child pornography charges, information led to arrest of former Joplin woman in Kentucky

A 10 a.m. Wednesday arraignment and detention hearing has been scheduled in U. S. District Court in Springfield for Levi Joseph Erwin, 26, Anderson, who was indicted by a federal grand jury this week on child pornography charges.

The indictment indicates Erwin received and distributed child pornography at least as early as January 15 through February 22 in McDonald County.







The indictment came as a result of investigative work by the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force, with information received from Erwin leading to federal officers in Kentucky arresting Paige Cagle, 25, a former Joplin resident, who allegedly sent Erwin child pornography involving infants, including at least two videos created while she was living in Joplin.

Online court records indicate Erwin is a former Springfield resident.

    This is a serious, sincere question. I see a lot of stories about child abuse and child porn arrests. Is this problem worse here than elsewhere, or is investigation just more aggressive?
