Sedalia man faces child porn charges

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Sedalia man is facing a pair of felony counts related to child pornography.

Leif Rasa is charged in Pettis County with first-degree promoting child pornography and child porn possession. He is not currently in custody, but a warrant was issued for his arrest on Wednesday.

Court documents alleged that Rasa uploaded three child porn files to a group chat on the social media application Snapchat on Nov. 19, 2025. Authorities were notified about the issue about a month later.

Police have not been able to contact Rasa because “he does not have an active phone number,” but law enforcement has contacted family members of his to let him know they are looking for him.
