Neosho man pleads guilty to child pornography charge

Michael Wayne Stillwagon, 25, Neosho, pleaded guilty this morning in U. S. District Court in Springfield to receiving child pornography.

Judge David P. Rush ordered a pre-sentence investigation. The government is recommending a 10-year sentenced followed by 20 years on supervised probation. No date has been scheduled for the sentencing.

Stillwagon was arrested in March in a case that originated in Utah, according to the probable cause affidavit. Investigators there traced child pornography to an IP address belonging to Stillwagon.

A subsequent search warrant of Stillwagon's phone turned up more than 2,000 images and 24 videos of child pornography, some involving children "as young as infants involved in sexually explicit activity."
