A police officer from Joplin is facing charges of possessing child pornography.

Authorities arrested Jonathan D.White, 23, Webb City, at his home after receiving a complaint about the officer and his relationship with a 17 year-old girl. Authorities found several digital images of the girl in various stages of undress on White's cell phone, according to Joplin police Lt. Brian Lewis.

White, who has been with the department for a year, was placed on administrative leave. He has bonded out of the Jasper County jail. His next court date is April 13th.

In the state of Missouri, a female child is considered an adult by the age of 17 & a male by the age of 18. So why all the chaos? It's not statutory rape...it's an affair between 2 adults....

Seems like someone may be jealous & just trying to cause a little chaos?

The charges have been dropped against the Joplin cop - because he married the girl! She's now his wife and cannot be forced to testify against him.

I know Jon. She sent him those pictures and they had been together for a while before that. He is a great guy and is now happily married. I feel he should get his job back.
