Branson entertainers charged with sexual exploitation of children

A grand jury indictment charging Branson entertainers Garry and Janine Carson with sexual exploitation of children was unsealed today in U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri.

According to the indictment, the Carsons, whose Escape Reality magic show entertains at the Hughes Brothers Theater in Branson, coerced a minor, referred to as "Jane Doe" to "engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of providing a visual depiction of such conduct."

The crime allegedly took place in Taney County.

In addition to performing in Branson, Garry Carson, 57, and Janine Carson, 39, have also regularly performed in Las Vegas and have appeared in the Masters of Illusions TV series.

The Carsons also perform a magic and comedy show at the Cabaret in Branson.
