images and videos of children being sexually abused, according to a detention motion filed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.
According to the document, John Caleb Price, 31, also admitted he had a sexual attraction to children.
Price came to the attention of law enforcement officers after he posted child pornography images on Twitter and Tumblr.
From the motion:
The defendant confessed that he had deliberately downloaded depictions of child pornography from the Internet. The defendant also informed the investigators that he had communicated with at least one minor female via the Internet.
Several devices seized during the execution of the search warrant were forensically examined. Hundreds of images and videos depicting children, as young as infants, being sexually abused were located.
The evidence against the defendant is overwhelming. This Court is obligated to consider “the nature and circumstances of the offense charged, including whether the offense… involves a minor victim. Both the nature and circumstances of the offense, as well as the defendant’s admitted sexual attraction to children, strongly suggest that the defendant presents a clear danger to the community.
The detention hearing will be held 1:45 p.m. Tuesday in Springfield before Judge David P. Rush.

People who traffic in child pornography should be imprisoned for life, and people who produce it, should face the death penalty. The idea of someone sexually abusing an infant makes me sick to my stomach. Absolute evil and depravity.
