A former Pettis County deputy who shot and killed a 25-year-old Sedalia woman in June 2020 is facing two charges related to child pornography.
Jordan Schutte, of Sedalia, was charged on Friday with child porn possession and first-degree promoting child porn. Court documents say Schutte appeared for a hearing by video from the Pettis County Jail. He is being held on a $75,000 bond. A counsel status hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2.
The probable cause statement says law enforcement received a CyberTip on Aug. 12 about child porn being uploaded to a SnapChat account. The account’s phone number matched Schutte’s and the phone number was verified for the account by SnapChat in 2022, the statement says.
The statement also says there is only one device associated with Schutte’s account.
The statement says Schutte allegedly posted child porn to his “private” SnapChat story, which is a feature that allows users to share images and video to a selected audience.
