“SPRINGFIELD, Mo. A former Greene County, Mo., Deputy Sheriff has pleaded guilty in federal court to receiving and distributing child pornography.

Juan T. Jones, 28, of Springfield, Mo., pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge David P. Rush on Monday, April 18, 2016, to the charge contained in a Jan. 19, 2016, federal indictment. Jones was a Greene County Deputy Sheriff at the time of the offense.

An officer with the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force Officer opened the investigation on Sept. 25, 2015, after a CyberTip from Dropbox to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Dropbox had discovered many video and image files that contained child pornography, which had been uploaded by Jones.

Investigators executed a search warrant at Jones’s residence on Jan. 6, 2016. While the warrant was being executed, they contacted Jones at his place of employment, the Greene County Sheriff’s Department. Jones admitted to investigators that he had looked at child pornography for as long as 10 years. Jones also admitted that he had exchanged child pornography images on Tumblr. Investigators discovered numerous images of child pornography on Jones’s cell phone.”

A few bad apples, huh?

This is really starting to sound prevalent

I did not start out on a quest to expose child molesting cops

But every morning when I check the news feeds there is another one in my face

I guess it comes down to the question of what kind of person wants to control others

What is in that persons psychological make up that drives that need to be in control

Just remember when you get pulled over on a dark highway by the man with handcuffs a badge and a gun who you may be dealing with

A hero

And as long as he goes home safe at night

That is all that matters
