A former Webb City Junior High School janitor will no longer have to wear an ankle monitor as he awaits trial on a charge of enticement of a child.
During a hearing in Jasper County Circuit Court Friday, Judge Joseph Hensley sustained an oral motion by attorney Jonathan Pierce representing Logan Blake Duncan to allow his client to remove the monitor.
Duncan, 25, Joplin, still has to remain in his parents' custody at all times, according to online court records. In addition to the house arrest, he is not allowed to have contact with anyone under age 18 or have access to the internet.
Duncan was charged after he allegedly arranged to meet someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl and have sex. His arrest was part of a sting operated by Bikers Against Predators.
While he was communicating with someone he thought was a 13-year-old, Duncan allegedly sent a picture of his genitals, according to the probable cause statement.
After learning that the decoy was 13 years of age, Mr. Duncan asked if he she had received the picture and if she liked it.
Bikers Against Predators posted a video, which has since been taken down, of group members confronting Duncan.
In the janitor's conversation with the girl, according to the Bikers Against Predators representative, he told her she could "come to the school,' and described the room where he would have sex with her. The "girl' was taking an Uber to the school to meet with him.
The janitor told the Bikers Against Predators representatives that he watched pornography and preferred "lesbian pornography," but that "I'm more hetero."
The video confrontation, which was livestreamed on Bikers Against Predators Facebook page, came to a close with Webb City Police officers arriving, being told the situation and also being told that all conversations with the janitor had been recorded.
Duncan was bound over for trial after waiving his preliminary hearing August 20. His next hearing is scheduled for March 27 in Carthage.

Judge Joseph Hensley is another weak-azz Judge, who does not take his appointment to protect and serve the public to heart. This was an order for his bond yet, he gave another pedophile criminal, Logan Blake Duncan, the ability to do whatever he wants - Why are we allowing and electing Judges and Prosecutors who are SOFT ON CRIME - To Look after the Public's Best Interest? Makes No Sense - Remember - Judge Joseph Hensley, when Election Time rolls around - Vote his Azz Out!!!
Bikers are no better
