ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI – In a shocking turn of events, a former school bus driver from St. Peters, Missouri, has been accused of recording the sexual abuse of minors.
Robert W. Stillwell, 66, of St. Peters, Missouri, was recently indicted in U.S. District Court in St. Louis with two counts of production of child pornography.
The indictment accuses Stillwell of recording his sexual abuse of two minor victims between Dec. 1, 2020, and Jan. 5, 2024. This disturbing revelation has left the community reeling, and law enforcement officials are working tirelessly to bring the perpetrator to justice.
Stillwell is currently being held in the St. Charles County Detention Center. If convicted, each charge of production of child pornography carries a mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison and a maximum of 30 years.
The FBI, the St. Peters Police Department, and the St. Charles County Cyber Crime Task Force investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jillian Anderson is prosecuting the case.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to better locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.
As the community comes to terms with this horrific crime, it is essential to remember that charges set forth in an indictment are mere accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.
