Sentencing date set for Joplin man for sexually exploiting live-in babysitter


A 4 p.m. June 15 sentencing is scheduled in U. S. District Court in Springfield for Joshua Stanley Miloszewski, 36, Joplin, who pleaded guilty December 18 to sexual exploitation of a minor and child pornography charges.

At the time of the federal charge Miloszewski was awaiting trial in Jasper County Circuit Court on statutory rape and statutory sodomy charges.

The federal charge came one day after a search warrant turned up a sex video with the 16-year-old girl.








From the probable cause affidavit:

On February 5, 2025, the Joplin, Missouri, Police Department (JPD) received a call for service involving the abuse of a child.

JPD Officer Arthur Brophy responded to Joshua Stanley Miloszewski’s residence in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, a location within the Western District of Missouri. Upon arrival, Officer Brophy spoke with a minor male (hereinafter “John Doe”).

John Doe reported that a 16-year-old female (hereinafter “Jane Doe”) lived at the residence with Miloszewski, who was confirmed to be a 35-year-old male. John Doe reported Jane Doe moved into the residence over a year ago after she started babysitting Miloszewski’s children.

John Doe reported that Jane Doe and Miloszewski shared a bedroom. During a cursory interview with JPD Detective David McGough, John Doe mentioned observing text messages on Jane Doe’s cellular phone that were sent to Miloszewski including a nude image of Jane Doe. John Doe described Jane Doe’s cellular phone as a blue iPhone 16 in a glitter phone case. 








On February 6, 2025, Officer Brophy and Detective McGough located Jane Doe at a residence in Joplin, Missouri. Detective McGough seized Jane Doe’s cellular phone, which he confirmed was an Apple iPhone 16.

Prior to leaving the residence, H.R. reported that Jane Doe had used H.R.’s phone to contact Miloszewski after law enforcement arrived at the residence. H.R. later responded to the JPD and allowed Detective McGough to review the messages Jane Doe exchanged with Miloszewski using H.R.’s phone.

In the messages, Jane Doe notified Miloszewski that law enforcement had taken her phone. Miloszewski told Jane Doe, “I told you to break it. {I'm f----d.” Jane Doe apologized and informed Miloszewski that she would not say anything to get him in trouble and that the “vids are on I cloud.”
