Allegation: Galena man, 23, took 13-year-old girl to Cunningham Park for sex


The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed child kidnapping and enticement of a child charges Friday against a Galena, Kansas man who allegedly took a 13-year-old girl to Cunningham Park in Joplin for sex March 25.

A warrant was today for the arrest of Chance Tyler Watkins to be held without bond.







From the probable cause statement:

On 03/25/2025 Chance Watkins a 23-year-old male committed the offense of Enticement of a Child and Child Kidnapping in Newton County, Missouri. 

Chance Watkins and victim1, a 13-year old child messaged each other via Snapchat and the two carried on a conversation. The two begin to talk sexual in nature. 

Chance tells victim1 "we have to keep this a secret.

They continue to talk about sending nude photos to each other. Chance told victim1 he could "steal" her.
later said he could "kidnap" her. 

In their messages she provides her address to him where he tells her to give him 10 minutes. 

The following messages are from Chance to victim1. 

"Hmm I don't know if you can handle it" 

"you promise to be a good girl then" "yes really if you be a good girl" 

"hmm what do you think I want" 







"you are really horny aren't you" 

"If I could help I would fix that for you" 

"okay so after dinner on yout knees close your eyes and open up and I'll give you dessert" 

"okay as long as you be a good girl" 

"hmm I can steal you" 

"don't know where you live and sneaking sounds bad" 

"I don't know where you live" 

"nope bad girl, don't say that, what's your address" 

"I can steal you" "do you want me to kidnap you tonight" "oh yeah, we have to keep this a secret remember that" 

"I'm serious about it because I can be screwed over for life" 








Chance went to victim1's residence where he picked her up and took her to what the victim believes was Cunningham Park in Joplin, Missouri. The victim states Chance performed oral sex and on her and then {began to have sexual intercourse but were interrupted by a SnapChat call). 

He took her home and dropped her at the end of the driveway where he picked her up. Victim1's mother stated she was woken up by her older daughter informing her victim1 was missing. They looked for her for a couple of hours before she arrived back home walking down the driveway. Her mother stated she knew victim1 had been sexually active that night because her clothes were on inside out and backwards.

The case was investigated by the Joplin Police Department.

We need the official PPPP statement on this one. Sounds a little bit trump/epstein-ish.

Honestly knowing the individual this is 100% things he would say and do. I knew he was a creep in hs and our entire life but no one could ever prove he actually did anything.
