Jefferson City man faces child-porn charges in Pennsylvania

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Jefferson City man is accused of trying to get child pornography from someone in Pennsylvania.

Brian Wilder, 53, is charged in federal court in Pennsylvania with conspiracy to commit sexual exploitation of a child and child enticement. The investigation began in 2022, according to court documents.

Investigators say wilder used the messaging application "KIK" to convince someone to send him images.

In November, an undercover agent began talking with a profile called “DARKRAVEN329,” who was seeking to engage in intercourse with a child. That person was determined to be Mason Morey, according to court documents. He was charged indicted by a grand jury in February with one count of attempted online enticement and 14 counts of production of child pornography.

Morey allegedly had been messaging an account called “Fun Forall,” who was identified in court documents as Wilder, who requested to see images.
