A Joplin man who bragged about having sex with children will be behind bars for the next 50 years.
During a hearing today in U. S. District Court in Springfield, Judge Stephen R. Bough sentenced Russell Myers, 44, to 25 years in prison on both counts of sexual exploitation of children with the sentences to run consecutively.
If Myers reaches the end of the sentence, he will be under lifetime supervision.
Myers' crimes involved an 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy. Child pornography was discovered on his computer devices, including sexually explicit videos featuring the two children.
The government recommended the 50-year sentence and lifetime supervision in a memorandum filed March 26.
In its argument for a lengthy sentence for Myers, the government noted that he abused children for years and bragged about the abuse.
