Local man charged with child porn

A Jefferson City man has been charged with two counts of possession of child pornography.

Gary Buettner, 59, of 606 E. State St., is believed to have images of four young females, ranging in age from 10-17.

A Missouri Highway Patrol probable cause statement shows authorities served a search warrant on Buettner's residence this past Friday.

Numerous computers, hard drives and digital media were located, and Buettner told investigators that he used file sharing software to download pornography.

He was able to describe some of the videos depicting children being sexually assaulted by adults.
