92-year-old Neosho man charged with furnishing pornographic material to a minor


The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a furnishing pornographic material to a minor charge, a felony today against a 92-year-old Neosho man who allegedly showed an 11-year-old boy pornography in February.

The allegations against Edwin Lawrence Cloteaux (DOB 1932) were detailed in the probable cause statement:

Upon arrival, I made contact with witness 1, who is the father to victim 1, a 11-year-old juvenile, stated a man by the name of Edwin Cloteaux, who resides on the same street, had shown victim 1 pornographic materials. 








Witness 1 stated victim 1 usually goes to Mr. Cloteaux's house to help him with work after school. Witness 1 stated victim 1 had told him Mr. Cloteaux had given him a hug, called him "Sweetie," and asked him if he had ever seen porn before. 

Witness 1 stated victim 1 told him he made an excuse to leave and came home.

The case was investigated by the Neosho Police Department.

      He was charged in California for lewd acts with a minor under 14, moved to Missouri 27 years ago, never registered, lives right behind the Neosho High School and actively brings kids to his house to help him with his rock collection and then tries crap like this. No he belongs in jail.

    Edwin Lawrence Cloteaux - A Crime is a Crime - Stop Being Soft on Criminals - 7:06PM, They have Medical Facility Jails for Criminals - If a Criminal wants to find Jesus that is on them - Just as Age should Not Matter - If a 16-Year Kills someone they Need to Tried as an Adult and Incarcerated - We all have Choices in Life - - Whether you are 16 to 92 - "And what does being 30-years old when black women started voting", have anything in this World to do with his Criminal Actions - - Should we just let all Criminals Off over some STUPID CONCEPT - - In History - or is that just something else to get Criminals Off the Hook???

    This is the Problem with a lot of you Leftist Liberal Demoncrats - You seem to Never understand that a Crime is a Crime - Whether that is a Pedophile, a Murderer, a Thief, or an Illegal Alien - All Actions have Consequences - as well they should - Any Attitudes that all Criminals can be Rehabilitated is Ridiculous - or that we should Show or Give them Special Treatment is why we keep giving Criminals - Slaps on the Wrist and Probation - when they should be paying their Debt to Society for their Actions in Jail...

      Ridiculous PPPP, all you fearful rightwing nutjobs want to do is lock everybody up, send them to El Salvador and throw away the key while making yourselves richer because of it. This man needs to be under the care of mental health professionals. Funny how your magat inspired ignorance can justify the deaths of children by gun violence (see Uvalde, Columbine, Sandy Hook), while casting your divisive racially charged hatred at people and occurrences that you have no understanding. Like your orange master, you and the magat cult are incapable of empathy.

      Those “consequences” now include being elected President or to Congress, or even being appointed to a Cabinet seat, apparently.

    4:27AM - or AKA - NCWS - No Comment Woke, Shamer - Always more BS, No Facts, than Bite - Like most Liberal Leftist Demoncrats! Doesn't Belief - A Crime is a Crime - but when asked on here several times to post where we would like us to send Illegal Aliens to his Address - Shut Up Like a CLAM!

    We are all trying to Figure Out how to Address them - (he/him, she/her) or gender-neutral (they/them, ze/hir) - Left Over Part of the Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shamers - Trying to Ruin America!!!

    Because Illegal Aliens who Illegally come to America - and get Free Housing, Free Food, Free Medical, Free Education, Monthly Stipends - on the Backs of Hard Working Taxpayers or Hidden Out in Liberal Judges Houses are suppose to get Special Treatment. While we have let in Cartel Members, Murders, Drug Dealers, Fugitives, Mercernaries, and Human Traffickers.

    While Legal Immigrants - who came to this Country - Legally, put in the Hardwork, Paid Taxes, and became Citizens through our Legal Process - Do Not Support Illegal Aliens - just entering our Country - As well as EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD - Will Jail, Fine, Deport, and Never allow you back in the Country if you Entry other Countries Illegally or Overstay your Visa / Passport - But - 4:27AM - NCWS - has No Clue that the Rest of the World Does the EXACT SAME THING THAT AMERICA DOES - - -


    4;27AM - Can You Read and Understand - Documented Facts and Truths???

    To this day, Obama holds the record for the most deportations known as "Deporter in Chief" by critics in the Democratic party.

    Obama removed 1.6 million undocumented immigrants in his first term and 1.5 million in his second term. Trump had 1.2 million illegal immigrants deported during his first term.

    President Joe Biden removed 682,000 people.

      I sometimes wonder if this is some Artificial Intelligence powered chatbot automatically spewing out this nonsense.

      Then I think about what I overhear on a regular basis the local Walmart and figure it's a real person waving their arms and spewing this.

      Yes, respecting peoples decisions on how they live their lives is ruining America. It couldn't possibly be the oligarchy looting the coffers.

    A CRIME IS A CRIME - They have Medical Prison Facilities for Sick and Ageing Criminals. Stop Feeling Sorry for Criminals - Everyone has Life Choices - Should the Local Teachers, and 2-School Janitors - from Newton and Jasper County get a Pass on their Pedophile Actions - NO - HELL NO!!!

    Why does 4:27AM - Keeps pulling the Racial Card - While never owning that the KKK, was initially Founded and Funded by the Democratic Party - Read and Learn the Truths of our Nation.

    Calling People Nazi's in other Posts on this Blog - When you want Special Treatment for the Few that Impedes on the Lives of the Masses - Wanting Boys to Compete Against Girls, Use their Restrooms and their Locker Rooms. Then Failing to Contribute to the Conversations on the Articles.

    Yes, 4:27AM and 9:27AM - is just another Leftist Liberal Demoncrat - Who Likes pushing people's Buttons - but Society is Tired of it - as we have shown them in the 2024 Election by Winning the Presidential Election, the Senate Election, and the House Election. As they Spew more NCWS - "No Comment Woke, Shamers" - More of the same - "Woke, DEI, CRT, Pronoun Shaming Groups" - Which has Cost America Billions and Billions with their Radical - Waste, Abuse, and Fraud while they continually fail to understand what the Majority of America wants and needs..................

    To this day, Obama holds the record for the most deportations of Illegal Aliens known as "Deporter in Chief" by critics in the Democratic party.

    1. Your comment was the first sentence. The rest of it is a rant that is growing particularly tiresome.

      Thoroughly agree with Randy. The PPPP is the kid on the bus that antagonizes and provokes the older, wiser kids, and then cries "VICTIM" followed by labeling them as bullies when they confront and push back.
