Federal child sexual exploitation charges filed against Joplin man


A federal child sexual exploitation charge against a Joplin man was unsealed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

Russell Allen Myers, 44, is currently being held in the Jasper County Jail, where he has been since his arrest in February on first degree child molestation charges.

It is not clear if the federal charges are totally based on the Jasper County charges. The probable cause affidavit is sealed. The complaint, which was filed Thursday, was originally sealed to "protect the integrity of the investigation" and to "safeguard the identities of the victims."







In the Jasper County case, the Jasper County Sheriff's Office was alerted by a cyber-tip from the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, which had been made aware of a chat history that was allegedly between Myers and another person describing a claim that Myers had been sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl on a daily basis.

In the conversation, which is described in the probable cause statement, Myers allegedly told the other person that he had "sexual contact with a boy and a girl."







A sexual act was described and Myers said he had done that act with the girl.

During interviews at the Children's Center, the children described things Myers had done to them, according to the probable cause statement, with the boy describing an assault that took place on his birthday.

    The Republican way would be castration or execution. You mean the democrat or liberal way isn't working.

    To 724,536, and 1036. You ignorant MAGAts are too stupid to look past your own white conspiracy fueled redneck beliefs: I assume you geniuses have no idea that your MAGAt governor, MAGAt controlled house, and MAGAt controlled senate make for more pervs, more murderers and more access to guns for losers like you. Your MAGAt politions are deplorable individuals who answer only to orange Methusla. You losers and others like you, will go down in history as one of the least educated, most morally bankrupt, and most gullible generations in US history.

    This whole area is ran by the GOP. From Governor down to local it's all GOP. And dare I say this area votes overwhelming GOP. Yet this area is riddled with crime and drugs and perversion. One day people will wake up to the fact they have been lied to daily and change the direction of this state. Not sure how slow the voters will ever change. Most brainwash themselves daily with one sided GOP propaganda so it's ingrained in their being. Sad but true. This is area is a GOP hell. Willfully ignorant

    Good grief. All of the political posters wanting to blame the opposite group have lost complete sight of the news story here. This is about a “man” who has a serious problem and needs help/punishment (and no, I most certainly don’t mean sympathy). And this about the victims who need justice and healing. Figure out how to be part of the solution here people. The political keyboard warriors solve nothing.

    We all know that 723AM is always lacking with any answers or intelligent comments, because he has no respect or moral compass. Never comments on the article, just others comments to try and disrupt the conversation. Signs of a having a Narcissistic personality disorder. Get Help.
