EMPHASIS: Independence Man Arrested For Possession Of Child Pornography

The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control announces the arrest of Kevin E. Moore, 33, of Independence, Missouri, for two counts of possession of child pornography videos. The arrest was the result of a lengthy online investigation conducted by members of the Division of Drug and Crime Control’s Digital Forensics Investigative Unit.

On March 31, 2016, investigators executed a search warrant at a residence located on the 1700 block of North Trail, in Independence. As a result of the search warrant, investigators located child pornography videos. Moore was arrested and transported to the Independence Police Department, where he is being held on $100,000 bond. The Patrol was assisted by officers from the Independence Police Department.

The charge for which Moore has been arrested is mere accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
