KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Kansas City, Mo., man was charged in federal court today with using a two-year-old victim to produce child pornography.
Conner Michael Webb, 27, of Kansas City, was charged in a federal criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Mo., with one count of producing child pornography.
According to an affidavit filed in support of the complaint, Webb sent a pornographic video of the victim, taken with his cell phone, to the subject of an ongoing federal investigation who was recently arrested in the District of Kansas. That person, identified in court documents as “Subject 1,” allowed federal agents to search his computer and cell phone. Investigators found numerous chat conversations on Subject 1’s cell phone between him and an individual with the username “kinkyconman” and profile name “Kinky PedoBoy,” later identified as Webb.
On Oct. 15, 2015, Webb asked Subject 1 to send him something to “get me in the mood” before he picked up the 2-year-old victim, identified in court documents as “Jane Doe.” Subject 1 sent Webb several images and videos of child pornography on his cell phone. On the afternoon of the same day, Webb sent a pornographic video he had just taken of Jane Doe to Subject 1’s cell phone.
A federal search warrant was executed today to search Webb’s residence, and to seize and search Webb’s computers, phones, and computer media. Webb, who was at home during the search, was transported to FBI headquarters and interviewed. Webb was arrested and remains in federal custody pending a detention hearing.
Dickinson cautioned that the charge contained in this complaint is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charge must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore. It was investigated by the FBI.
