Joplin man sentenced to 10 years on child pornography charges

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

A Joplin, Missouri, man was sentenced in federal court today for receiving and distributing child pornography.

Kevin Wilson, 55, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 10 years in federal prison without parole.

The court also sentenced Wilson to 10 years of supervised release following incarceration.








On May 30, 2019, Wilson pleaded guilty to receiving and distributing child pornography. Wilson uploaded multiple images of child pornography to his Instagram account, which triggered a CyberTipline report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Wilson’s residence on April 2, 2018, and seized a computer and compact discs that contained child pornography.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force.

Humor in a post connected to a story about child molestation? How liberal.
