Judge orders Joplin man held without bond on child pornography charge

A Joplin man will be held without bond while awaiting trial on a federal child pornography charge.

U. S. District Court Judge David P. Rush issued the detention order for Dakotah "Cody" Gilmore, 31, during a hearing this morning in Springfield.

Gilmore was arrested following the execution of a search warrant Friday at a home in the 1500 block of South Murphy Lane. 

A Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force investigation had traced child pornography, much of it involving children who appeared to be age five or younger to accounts belonging to Gilmore.
