Federal grand jury indicts Webb City man on child pornography charges


A grand jury indictment of a Webb City man on child pornography charges was unsealed today in U. S. District Court in Springfield.

The indictment says Charles Blake Tyler, 47, received and distributed child pornography between January 1, 2023 and November 3, 2023.

Though no further information is provided in the federal case file, the case apparently stems from an investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol that led to the filing of child pornography charges against Tyler in Jasper County Circuit Court.






Tyler was bound over for trial following a January 4 preliminary hearing.

The allegations against Tyler are detailed in the probable cause statement:

Beginning in October 2023, investigators were conducting an online investigation related to the distribution of child pornography. Information discovered during the investigation led to obtaining a Jasper County search warrant for the home of Charles Tyler in Webb City. 

On November 7, 2023, the search warrant was served, and Tyler was interviewed. Tyler admitted to downloading and viewing child pornography using his computer.

The probable cause statement indicates Tyler had hundreds of child pornography files with some involving as children as young as 2.
