Springfield, Mo, man accused of sexually
abusing sleeping child
Harrison Keegan, Springfield News-Leader
A Springfield man is facing felony charges after he was accused of sexually abusing a girl who was younger than 10 while she was asleep.
John Toby Grider, 50, was charged last week with statutory sodomy and child molestation after police say he admitted to the inappropriate touching.
According to a probable cause statement, Springfield police began investigating this case in April after the girl disclosed to a family member that she had been molested by Grider.
The statement says police interviewed Grider and he initially denied any wrongdoing but later admitted that the victim was an honest child who was telling the truth about what happened.
Grider allegedly told police he was drunk on the morning in question and he sexually abused the girl while she was asleep. Grider said the touching caused the girl to wake up and he left the home after a confrontation with one of the girl's parents.
Prosecutors say Grider was on probation at the time of this incident after pleading guilty in a domestic assault case and violating orders of protection.
Online records indicate a warrant has been issued for Grider's arrest. He does not have an attorney listed for this case.
The statutory sodomy charge carries a possible life sentence.

Wheelersburg, Oh, man, and several others indicted on
child sex trafficking charges
Allegedly gave drugs in return for access to children
Ironton Tribune - Editor’s note: This article contains allegation of sexual crimes committed against children and reader discretion is advised.
COLUMBUS – A Scioto County man, members of his family and some of his associates have been indicted by a federal grand jury for child sexual trafficking and trying to hide evidence of the crimes.
On Wednesday, court documents from the Southern Ohio District federal court were unsealed and revealed that the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force began investigating Larry Dean Porter, 69, of Wheelersburg, in April 2019, after they heard from several sources that Porter was involved in sexually abusing male and female minors with consent of the minors’ parents, in exchange for illegal drugs from Porter.
He is facing 13 federal counts and is being held in a federal jail with no possibility of bond.
In March 2020, Porter was arrested by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department at the McDonalds in Oak Hill on local charges coordinated by law enforcement.
Porter allegedly offered to pay $80 in exchange for access to a 7-year-old girl. He was arrested after arriving at a pre-arranged meeting location and allegedly stating he would “be done around midnight” and could return the girl then.
The FBI and the Scioto County Sheriff’s Office searched Porter’s Wheelersburg home.
According to victims and sources in the ongoing investigation by the FBI and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI), Porter sexually abused children and produced child pornography kept on flash drives that Porter used extreme methods to conceal.
Prosecutors allege Larry Porter would give illegal narcotics to drug-addicted parents, in exchange for sexual access to the minor victims. It is alleged he often instructed the parents to sexually abuse their own children and recorded it to use as blackmail.
Additionally, according to the criminal complaint, Larry Porter made numerous recorded phone calls and mailed three letters while incarcerated in Jackson County in an attempt to have his family members and associates lie under oath, convince other witnesses to lie to law enforcement, or to convince sources not to provide information to law enforcement.
Larry Porter is charged in a 13-count indictment with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), attempting to sex traffic children (15 years up to life), producing child pornography (15 to 30 years), possessing child pornography (up to 10 years), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years) and conspiring to witness tamper (up to 20 years).
According to the indictment, in the days immediately following Porter’s arrest in Jackson County, two of Porter’s daughters and two of his friends were seen making numerous trips to Porter’s residence and property. Denna Sue, 32, of Wheelersburg, and Crystal D. Porter, 39, of Columbus, were seen digging holes in the ground on the property.
On March 20, officers and agents searched the area in which the daughters were seen digging. They discovered an SD memory card buried inside a glass jar. Court documents allege the memory card contained images of child pornography taken in Porter’s bedroom.
Denna Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), destroying or removing evidence (up to five years), and making false statements to law enforcement (up to eight years).
Crystal Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), destroying or removing evidence (up to five years), and making false statements to law enforcement (up to eight years).
The indictment alleges that two of Larry Porter’s associates, Frank E. Andrews, 68, of Wheelersburg, and W. David Cole, 62, of Portsmouth, were also seen on Porter’s property.
Andrews is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), possessing child pornography involving a prepubescent child (up to 20 years), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), and destroying or removing evidence (up to five years).
Agents said they recovered eight DVDs from Andrews’ residence that contained multiple videos of child pornography. Forensic evidence indicated the file titles match those on Porter’s computer.
Cole is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison), conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years), and destroying or removing evidence (up to five years).
Facebook messages allegedly show conversations between Cole and Porter discussing child sex trafficking victims. Cole also allegedly removed and destroyed evidence from Porter’s home.
During a recorded jail call, Porter and his cousin, Erroll Wayne Porter, Sr. (Wayne), 69, of Wheelersburg, discussed an individual they believed was a source for law enforcement.
Wayne Porter said he “got some things working there, trying to take him down.”
In a later call, Porter told Wayne, “Go out and make sure that idiot don’t do something. If you have to put a slug in that son-of-a-bitch.”
Wayne Porter is charged with conspiring to obstruct a child sex trafficking investigation (up to 25 years) and conspiring to tamper witnesses (up to 20 years).
Joshua David Aldridge, 36, of South Webster, is charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison) and sex trafficking children (15 years up to life in prison). He allegedly transported minor victims to Porter’s home and received drugs from Porter in return.
Charity Ann Rawlins, 41, of South Webster, and Ronnie L. Rawlins, 47, of Oak Hill, are also charged with conspiring to sex traffic children (15 years up to life in prison) and sex trafficking children (15 years up to life in prison).
The couple allegedly took a seven-year-old child to Porter’s residence on a regular basis to traffic the child sexually in exchange for pills.
This alleged abuse occurred a few times per week for up to five years.
A number of other adult women allegedly involved in this conspiracy have been charged locally.
Criminal complaints and indictments merely contain allegations, and defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Jackson County Sheriff Tedd Frazier said they believe there are more victims in this case.
“Please have the courage to come forward and fight for your justice by contacting my office or the FBI,” Frazier said, adding they can call the FBI at 614-315-4923 or his office at 740-286-6464.
“I am very pleased with these indictments and very proud of my deputies and the part my deputies had in ending this child sex trafficking operation,” Frazier said, adding Jackson County will not tolerate the actions of anyone who preys on children.
“We will hunt down those that abuse and take advantage of our children and our families. Children should not be placed in circumstances where they are in danger nor traded for drugs,” Frazier said. “We want to find justice for all of their victims.”

KC, Mo, Resident Sentenced to
20 Years for Child Pornography
STL.News Editor 1
A Kansas City, Missouri, resident was sentenced in federal court today for possessing child pornography.
Raul E. Villalva, also known as Isabelle Villalva, a biological male who identifies as a female (transgender woman), 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough to 20 years in federal prison without parole. The court also sentenced Villalva to 20 years of supervised release following incarceration.
On Oct. 9, 2019, Villalva pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
In July 2018, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children received a report from an online file hosting service that a user of the service, later determined to live in the Kansas City area, had uploaded 42 files of child pornography. After further investigation, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Villalva’s residence on Oct. 3, 2018. Villalva disclosed that an adult male with whom he shared the residence had previously sent him, by cell phone, videos and pictures of the adult male sexually assaulting a child victim at the defendant’s residence. Investigators seized Villalva’s cell phone, which contained videos and images of child pornography. Some of the child pornography depicted in Villalva’s cell phone depicted the child victim being molested by the adult male, while a single video depicted Villalva also engaging in sexual contact with the same child victim.
Villalva will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.
This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Luna. It was investigated by the Western Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force, the Platte County, Mo., Sheriff’s Department, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

South River, NJ, man charged with receiving child porn
Suzanne Russell, Bridgewater Courier News
NEWARK - A 52-year-old South River man has been charged with allegedly receiving files showing child sexual abuse and hiding objects to impede the FBI's investigation.
Charles F. Browne has been charged with one count of receiving child pornography and one count of concealing an object to impede a federal investigation, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a release.
Browne was scheduled to appear Thursday by videoconference before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Dickson, the release states.
According to court documents and statements, in September 2017, Dropbox Inc. noticed that child pornography had been uploaded to a Dropbox account with the screen name “Charles Browne” and an email address containing the term “cbrowne,” the release states.
The FBI obtained the files that were uploaded to the Dropbox account, which allegedly included prepubescent child sexual abuse and a resume for Browne, the release states.
On April 8, 2019, law enforcement approached Browne, as he left his then-residence in Toms River, to interview him about an ongoing investigation. Subsequent to the interview, he allegedly disposed of items in the Kettle Creek, a coastal waterway, the release states.
On April 12, 2019, the Ocean County Sheriff's Office deployed a drone at the end of the pier and located an object of interest. FBI divers were deployed and recovered an iPad and iPhone, both of which had been previously registered with Browne’s Apple iCloud account, the release states.
Further review of the recovered devices indicated they had been at Brown’s residence and near a body of water north of Bay Terrace Road. One had been at the location where his car was pulled over. The recovered iPad contained videos depicting prepubescent child sexual abuse and emails to and from accounts linked to Browne, the release states.
If convicted of receiving child pornography Browne could face a mandatory minimum penalty of five years in prison, a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, and fine of $250,000. The count of concealing objects to impede a federal investigation count carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, the release states.
U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents with the FBI Newark Child Exploitation Human Trafficking Task Force, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Douglas Korneski, with the investigation that led to the charges. He also thanked the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office, under the direction of Acting Prosecutor Christopher Kuberiet, and the South River Police Department, under the direction of Chief Mark Tinitigan, for their assistance in the investigation.

LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Colonie police say they arrested Warren Street Academy social studies teacher Sean M. Miller, 26, of Latham on Thursday for possessing and promoting images of child sexual abuse, and for having an illegal assault weapon.
The Internet Crimes Against Children task force tipped off state police, indicating that someone at a residence on Coventry Court in Latham possessed and had transmitted images of child sexual assault. The child pornography featured images of young girls who police do not think are local victims.
The Colonie Police Department and the New York State Police Computer Crimes Unit executed a search warrant on Thursday at the residence, Miller’s home. Police say the search revealed that not only was Miller responsible for the child porn, he also had an illegal assault weapon.

Police seized Miller’s computer devices, which will undergo a forensic examination as detectives search for additional illegal images or videos.
Police say they charged Miller with promoting a sexual performance by a child, possessing a sexual performance by a child, and third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. New York’s sentencing guidelines indicate that these crimes could be worth 18 years if he’s convicted.
Warren Street Academy in Hudson is Miller’s most recent employer. Although police say they have not discovered any local victims, Miller’s profession granted significant access to potential victims.
If you or someone you know has any information or were a victim of Miller, contact your local police department.
Warren Street Academy is an alternative school that is closing June 30. According to his biography on the school’s website, he was the social studies teacher, with a bachelor’s degree in History and a master’s in Education.

28-y/o Santa Ana, Ca, Man Accused of Possessing Thousands of Child Sexual Abuse Materials
By City News Service
Santa Ana PD
A 28-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in Santa Ana for allegedly possessing "thousands" of child sexual abuse images and videos.
An investigator with the Santa Ana Police Department began investigating Jaime Castillo in March for allegedly trading child erotica and child sexual abuse materials, commonly known as child pornography, according to the department.
Over the two-month investigation, involving nine search warrants, thousands of images and videos of child sexual abuse were found to be stored by Castillo, and he allegedly sent more than 75 images and videos depicting the sexual abuse of "young children," the Santa Ana Police Department said.
Police tracked the IP address to a home in Santa Ana, and on Tuesday morning they executed a search warrant at the home, which "reaffirmed the suspicion that Castillo was storing the sexually explicit files in several data storage devices located in his home,'' according to the Santa Ana Police Department.
Castillo was arrested and the devices were seized, police said.
Man wanted in North Ogden, Ut, child sexual abuse case turns himself in to authorities
By MARK SHENEFELT Standard-Examiner
A Las Vegas man wanted on three first-degree felony child sexual abuse charges in North Ogden has turned himself in to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
Roberto Garcia, 46, was arrested Friday and is held in the Purgatory Correctional Center in Hurricane, Washington County Sheriff’s Lt. David Crouse said Tuesday.
“We didn’t have to do much,” Crouse said. “He said he wanted to turn himself in, so the booking staff located his warrants and placed him under arrest.”
Crouse said Garcia remained in custody pending transfer to Weber County to face the charges.
In an indictment filed June 2 in 2nd District Court in Ogden, the Weber County Attorney’s Office accused Garcia of rape of a child, sodomy upon a child and aggravated sexual abuse of a child for alleged incidents from September 2010 to September 2011.
A June 3 arrest warrant requested by the North Ogden Police Department alleged the incidents occurred when Garcia was in a position of trust with a 7-year-old girl.
In April 2019, the girl, then 15, told her stepmother of the alleged abuse, the warrant said. In a subsequent police interview in Texas, the alleged victim elaborated on the incidents, the warrant said.
Charges were filed after North Ogden detectives reported that efforts to interview Garcia or have him respond to written questions submitted to his attorney had not succeeded.
Randall Richards, Garcia’s attorney, filed a request for discovery in court Tuesday listing 26 paragraphs of items desired to help in the man’s defense.
Those items include “Any evidence which tends to negate the guilt of the defendant, or mitigate the guilt of the defendant, or mitigate the degree of the offense, that has been discovered by any member of the agencies involved in this investigation or prosecution.”
Later Tuesday, the county attorney’s office filed an objection to the scope of the discovery request, arguing it goes beyond what the prosecution is required to disclose under rules of criminal procedure.
