A Joplin man who was indicted April 9 for receiving and distributing child pornography as part of a nationwide crackdown on child predators pleaded guilty today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.The investigation into Clinton John Gray, 47, appears to have begun after Joplin Police arrested him September 28, 2023 for drug trafficking and possession of drug paraphernalia after Gray, who was riding a bicycle, failed to stop at a stop sign.
After it was determined that Gray had several outstanding warrants, a search was conducted and officers found a black pouch containing three bags of methamphetamine.
Gray was bound over for trial on the meth charges, but failed to show for his arraignment three times. After the third time on April 8, 2024, Judge Dean Dankelson issued a warrant for Gray's arrest, revoked his bond, (he had been released on his own recognizance) and set his bond at $25,000 cash or surety.
The federal indictment shows Gray's alleged child pornography crimes occurred between January 1, 2023, and the day the Joplin Police arrested him.
Judge David P. Rush ordered a pre-sentence investigation. No date has been set for sentencing.

Can we just permanently get rid of all these sick perverted pedophiles like, Clinton John Gray, they can never be reformed, no matter what all these leftist liberal psychologist, judges, or leftwing politicians think - some people are just pure evil and anyone that would harm a child should not be upright on our planet.
Agree. Some people are pure evil. Child rapists, porn sharing sickos, those that cut childhood cancer research, those that do nothing to stop babies and innocent men and women from being blown up in war. The world is evil. We must be the good. Not all left leaning persons or right leaning for that matter let perverts off easy. What is for sure is that out of 1000 rapes, only 3 men will be convicted, and every 6 seconds a woman is violently abused in this country. All of it must end. Most of it is violent men, as in mass shootings.
