Eldon man charged with child porn possession in Miller County
ELDON, Mo. (KMIZ)
An Eldon man was arrested on Tuesday and accused of a pair of felonies.
Brandon Long, 20, was charged on Wednesday with possessing child pornography and first-degree promoting obscenity. He is being held at the Miller County Jail on a $50,000 bond. A court date has not been set.
According to the probable cause statement, the Miller County Sheriff’s Office received a cybertip from the social media messaging application Kik that said child porn was uploaded from a Miller County IP address.
Search warrants were served to Kik in July, and the company provided encrypted files that depicted child porn from an account, the statement says. Images of Long were also include, the statement says.
Law enforcement executed a search warrant on Tuesday and Long allegedly admitted to sending and receiving child porn and claimed the account belonged to him, the statement says.
