Mylon Duane Addis, Child Pornography, Missouri 2021

A registered sex offender from Versailles, Missouri, has been handed a 15-year prison sentence for possessing child pornography.

Mylon Duane Addis, 52, was found guilty of receiving child pornography on December 9, 2021. He had previously been convicted of child molestation, which involved the sexual abuse of a 10-year-old victim, and a prior federal conviction for possessing child pornography.

The investigation into Addis began on July 8, 2019, when the Lake Area Cyber Crimes Task Force received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Addis had uploaded a video containing child pornography. A search warrant was executed at Addis’s residence on July 16, 2019, and his devices were seized, revealing images of child pornography.

Addis’s prior convictions include a state felony conviction for child molestation and a federal felony conviction for possessing child pornography. This recent case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley S. Turner.

The investigation was a collaborative effort between the Boone County Sheriff’s Department and the Lake Area Cyber Crimes Task Force.

This case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. The program aims to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
