Judge orders Joplin man held without bond on child pornography charges

A Joplin man will remain behind bars while awaiting trial on federal child pornography charges.

Following arguments this afternoon in U. S. District Court in Springfield, Judge David P. Rush ordered John Caleb Price, 31, held without bond.







In the detention motion, the assistant U. S. attorney said Price had images and videos of child pornography, some with infants and that Price admitted he had a sexual attraction for children.

A federal grand jury indictment against Price was unsealed November 21 and alleges he possessed and distributed child pornography between January 1, 2018 and June 25, 2019, in Jasper County.
