Alba man charged with four felony sex counts involving 16-year-old girl


An Alba man is being held without bond in the Jasper County Detention Center on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor, statutory rape, statutory sodomy and child molestation.

Cory Alan Dowty, 30, was arrested following an investigation by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office into a runaway 16-year-old girl from rural Joplin.







From the probable cause statement:

When deputies located and spoke to the victim she disclosed she has been picked up from her
address by a 30 year old male. The victim also made the statements that the male had videos of her
and was worried he would disseminate the videos. Deputies obtained the name for the male as Cory
Dowty. Her phone was seized and information was extracted.

The juvenile's cell phone contained 28 videos that showed Cory Dowty and the juvenile involved in
sexual contact. These videos showed the victims vagina being penetration by Cory's penis, the
victim performing oral sex on Cory. Cory performing oral sex on the victim. Cory recording sexual
interactions. There were multiple photos that showed Cory and the victim laying on a bed and
interactions.There were multiple photos that showed Cory and the victim laying on a bed and
cuddling. There was one image where the victim had her tongue sticking out towards Cory and he
was kissing her tongue. The three dates I was able to pull from meta-data were January 19, 2026,

March 22, 2026, and March 27, 2026.








The Victim later disclosed to the Juvenile Office that she and Cory had been in a sexual relationship.
A Forensic Interview was conducted and the Victim stated that she would spend time at Cory's
house and she looked at him as a father figure. The Victim also made statements that she was high
on Methamphetamine when contacted by law enforcement.

According to the probable cause statement, a consent search of Dowty's Alba home showed that the room he stayed in matched the room in the videos.

On April 9, 2026 I conducted an interview of Cory at the Barton County Sheriffs Office. Cory admitted he has talked to the victim over the phone and in person. When asked about the videos and if the two had sex Cory requested a lawyer.

4:07 there is always more victims from these predators, unfortunately. That is exactly the reason these predators need to be locked up for a very long time, the first time they are caught. They also need to serve their entire sentence too. These predators are constantly let out of prison way too soon or are not even locked up the first few times. They continue to abuse more victims unless they remain in prison. Their dispicable, disgusting behavior never changes for the better, that is why these deviants need to be locked away in prison, to protect the innocent children and society from them.

Yes, we need to have strong Judges and Prosecutors, doing their jobs and locking these Sick, Heinous, Predatory Pedophiles up, no deals, no probation, just lock these criminals up for a long time. Remember to protect your children they are your greatest treasures. Pedophiles are in every community, every state, by people of both genders, and all occupations, and all political parties, so don't believe for one moment that this is an isolated situation or based on location, gender, political, religion, or vocation - these sick pedophiles are everywhere and in all walks of life! Be aware and protect you children!

Let’s give him a $42K state job and then allow him to have a gofundme to pay for his food and rent. Geez…that pisses me off so bad! I reported him to gofundme, did anyone else?

5:33 it’s been reported that gofundme has pulled his gofundme account. So yes others have reported his account.

Debunker - 12:33PM - WRONG AGAIN - YOUR STATISTICS ARE BASED ON PER CAPITA OF 100,000 - WHAT MATTERS IS THE TOTAL PER STATE - - - EXACT FIGURES - SHOWS THE TRUTH - LEARN FROM THIS AND GAIN SOME KNOWLEDGE - SO YOU CAN CORRECTLY REPORT THE REAL TRUTH AND FACTS.

Do you need help with numbers? Or with reading before you retort?

I posted a list of states with the most registered sex offenders per capita (specifically the number of registered of sex offenders per 100,000 residents):

States with the most registered sex offenders per
100,000 residents:

Five other states with more sex offenders per capita than Missouri...
Missouri 427 sex offenders per 100,000

MISSOURI IS #6 IN PREVALANCE OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS!

THAT MEANS 43 STATES HAVE FEWER SEX OFFENDERS PER PERSON THAN MISSOURI!!

Also for the sake of discussion let me point out that of the five states with more sex offenders per capita than Missouri:

Oregon is BLUE.
Arkansas, Alaska and South Dakots are RED.
Wisconsin has a slightly RED tint which is becoming BLUE after 20 years of RED.

What did you say?

As of January 2025, there are approximately 26,494 registered sex offenders in Missouri, which equals about 430 offenders per 100,000 residents.

So we had the same numbers but are you are making excuses for MISSOURI BEING #6 IN FREQUENCY OF REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS???

9:07 or 12:17 could have a reading comprehension problem. Or could be a registered sex offender, who doesn’t like being included in these numbers. Either way you are correct. Thank you for the concise numbers that you included in your comment!
