West Virginia Business Owner Faces Charges for Child Pornography
A business owner in Wheeling, West Virginia, has been charged with distributing material depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The charges stem from the alleged use of the Kik messenger app to upload child pornography.
The accused, identified as Matthew Robert Miller, is facing criminal charges following a cyber tip received by Sr. Trooper C.E. Smith from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The tip led to an investigation that resulted in the charges being filed.
According to a court complaint from the Ohio County Magistrate Court, the business owner is now in legal trouble for his alleged involvement in distributing or exhibiting material that is illegal and harmful to minors.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of online safety and the need to protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation and abuse. Authorities are urging the public to report any suspicious or illegal activities involving minors to the appropriate authorities.
