Probable cause: Carl Junction man sexually assaulted 10-year-old boy, 10-year-old girl, possessed child porn


Federal child pornography charges were filed today against a Carl Junction man.

According to the complaint which was filed in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Mark Edwin Comer, 42, received and distributed child porn.

The probable cause affidavit indicates the investigation of Comer began when a 13-year-old girl told the Carl Junction Police Department she had been sexually abused multiple times by Comer when she was 10 to 11 years old.







While the Carl Junction police investigated that allegation, it received a report that Comer had molested a 10-year-old boy multiple times.

On June 15, Carl Junction Police received a report from an Ozark Center counselor who is a mandated reporter that Comer, who was under her care, admitted to sexually abusing the two children and to "inappropriate activity online, which she believed to be child pornography."







The FBI was called in and executed a search warrant on Comer's computer and and identified 4,261 images and 698 video files of child pornography, according to the probable cause affidavit.

The affidavit indicates the files included children as young as toddlers being sexually abused, children being forced to perform sex acts on adults and adults sexually assaulting children.
