A Willard man is being held without bond in the Jasper County Detention Center on enticement of a child and sexual trafficking charges after allegedly arranging to have sex with someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl.
Shawn Alan Patterson (DOB 1983) was arrested by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office after arriving at Casey's General Store in Webb City, according to the probable cause statement.
During the conversation, Patterson discussed several sexual acts he was interested in paying for, according to the statement.
Shawn was specifically informed that the person he was communicating with was 15 years old.
Shawn initially responded, “15? I’m out,” demonstrating that he understood the represented age.
Shawn subsequently reengaged in the conversation, requested a photograph, continued discussing and arranging an in-person meeting, confirmed that he wanted “full service,” discussed whether condoms were necessary, requested the meeting location, and asked where they could go that was secluded enough.
Shawn ultimately traveled to the predetermined meeting location at Casey’s, located at 1525 S. Madison Street in Webb City. Prior to arriving, the undercover officer requested a yellow, RedBull energy drink. Shawn entered Casey’s, purchased the requested drink, and was detained after exiting the store. Shawn was also found in possession of cash with $100-dollars being in the sunglass visor and $14-dollars being in his wallet on his person.
During the interview and after Miranda was verbally given to him, Shawn acknowledged continuing the communications after being informed of the represented age and described his actions as a “bad
judgment call.”

When confronted with the content of the communications, Shawn stated, “It sounds like I’m gonna meet up and have sex with her.”
When asked why he continued with the encounter, Shawn stated that he worked long hours, frequently traveled between approximately 1,000 and 1,200 miles per week, and was often alone while working.

Shawn stated that his wife hardly touched him and that they had only been sexually intimate approximately one time during the previous eight months.
Based upon the totality of the investigation, there is probable cause to believe Shawn Patterson knowingly communicated with, enticed, and arranged to meet a person he believed to be 15 years
old for the purpose of engaging in sexual conduct in exchange for something of value, and took
substantial steps toward completing the arranged commercial sexual encounter.

Another sick and twisted pedophile, Shawn Alan Patterson, needs to spend a few years in prison as well as all those pedophiles out there.
What a bug! Zero sympathy for this guy.
Is he an exterminator?
He's also on the joplin Chamber
Deport him!!! We can't have these kind of people in our country!!! Build the Big Beautiful Wall!! Opps, just another homegrown criminal in our backyard.
5:13PM, Maybe you can't read the headlines - I'm sure of that, but yes Biden let in almost 15-Million Illegal Aliens. Some of those are from the Drug Cartels, Criminals, Murders, Drug Dealers, Human Traffickers - They were completely Unvetted, Illegally Entering our Country - some driving up and down our highways and streets, with No-Licenses, No-Insurance, Etc., Etc., Etc., so if you, your family, or friends - are victims of them or in an accident with them - you have - NO-RECOURSE!
While on the Subject - Barack Obama, Known as the "DEPORTER-IN-CHIEF", because he Deported more Illegal Aliens than any other President - Another Democratic, Joe Biden, let's in 15-Million Illegal Aliens - KRAZY-EVENTS - One Democrat, Obama, tries to get rid of the Illegal Aliens and the Other Democrat, Biden, turns around and leaves the Doors Open - - The Democrats seem to have a Problem with their own Policies - Which always confuses everyone - Say This - Do This and then Next Time - Do just the Opposite!
I read it completely!!! I knew you would jump on here spewing your MAGA nonsensical rhetoric. You get triggered easily lol
2;58pm, I find it laughable about watching Tik Tok / Instagram videos where they are going door to door having people sign a petition to allow Illegal Aliens to come into our country and after they sign it up pulls a bus full of Latinos (representing Illegal Aliens), and they start coming up the sidewalk and the people who just Signed the Petion are asking - what are they doing, and they tell them that they are coming to live with you, and these same people retreat and go inside, saying they don't want them on their property.
This is the Typical LWNJ Liberal Democrats - always saying One-Thing and Doing-Another - Their Reality is "Say-It, but they don't Believe-In-It". Typical Democrats!
You are so worried about illegal immigrants and your neighbors are molesting your kids and making their hillbilly meth right under your nose. Get off your rightness high horse and stop drinking the Kool aid.
11:02AM, The Majority of Meth, Heroin, Cocaine, Opioids, Marijuana are coming in from Mexico / South America - IDIOT. JUST GOOGLE IT. The 15-Million Illegal Aliens that Sleepy Autopen Joe Biden let in included Cartel and Drug Members, Murders, Rapist, Criminals, Prostitutes, and Human Traffickers - WHAT IN THE HELL KOOL-AID ARE YOU DRINKING?
All of these Drugs coming in from Mexico / South America - are Helping Push up the Crime Rates in the United States - To Buy and Pay For It - More Robbing, Stealing, Murders, and Other Crimes to Support the Drug Trade and their Habits! Who do you think these Criminals are Robbing, Stealing, and Murdering - JOHN-Q-PUBLIC - Innocent Victims in our Society!
These are the same Illegal Aliens out on the Highways - Driving without Licenses or Insurance - When are you IDIOTS EVER GOING TO LEARN THE FACTS AND THE TRUTHS - WHEN???
