Jefferson City, Missouri criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant charged with Production, Distribution, and Possession of Child Pornography

Fulton Man Charged with Production, Distribution, and Possession of Child Pornography

A Fulton, Mo., man was charged in a three-count indictment issued by a federal grand jury charging him with production, distribution, and possession of child pornography.



Jacob Stockglausner, 38, was charged in a three-count indictment on April 8, 2025. The indictment alleges that Stockglausner used a minor child under the age of twelve to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing a visual depiction. The indictment also alleges that Stockglausner distributed a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct using the social media platform Kik. Stockglausner is also charged with possession of child pornography involving a minor who was prepubescent or less than twelve years of age.



The charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.



Under federal statutes, if convicted, Stockglausner faces federal prison sentences of up to thirty years on the production of child pornography count and twenty years on the distribution and possession counts to be served without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.



This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Melissa A. Pierce and Ashley Turner. It was investigated by the Boone County Sheriff's Cyber Crime Task Force with assistance from the FBI and Callaway County Sheriff's Department.
