Nurse practitioner indicted by grand jury, faces more child porn charges
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A nurse practitioner was indicted by a grand jury on Friday and is now facing more felony charges.
Michael James Lewis, 31, of Ashland, was charged on Friday with five counts of child porn possession, a count of second-degree domestic assault, third-degree domestic assault, tampering with evidence and tampering with a witness. He was previously charged with child porn possession, second-degree domestic assault, third-degree domestic assault, tampering with evidence and tampering with a witness.
He is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An arraignment for the new set of charges is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday.
The probable cause statement says the victim spoke with police last after they were assaulted by Lewis. The victim allegedly found about 20 videos of child pornography on Lewis’ laptop, the statement says.
After the victim confronted Lewis about the videos, he allegedly assaulted the victim and destroyed the laptop, court documents say. The victim took videos and photos of the laptop before it was destroyed and showed them to law enforcement, the statement says.
