Texas County men already facing sex-related offenses are back in trouble facing child pornography charges, authorities said.
Chuck Dunning, 49, of 14996 Highway U, Cabool, was charged April 3 with two counts of possession of child pornography. Earlier this year, he was charged with incest.
Ryan R. Ferguson, 25, of 111 N. Friend St., Licking, was also charged with possession of child pornography. Earlier, he was charged with child molestation.
Authorities said a sweep of the men’s computers showed several pornographic images of young children. The cases are unrelated.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol and Texas County Sheriff’s Department handled the investigations.
