ROLLA, Mo. (News First) – U.S. District Judge Henry Autrey on Wednesday sentenced a sex offender from Phelps County who sent child sexual abuse material to others to 190 months in prison. 37-year-old Torrey Jaymes McAlpin of Rolla will be on supervised release for life after his release from prison. McAlpin was caught after the social media app Kik submitted a CyberTip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about someone who uploaded four videos and five images containing child sexual abuse material in chat messages.
The messages were traced to McAlpin who was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse involving a child in Kentucky in 2013. McAlpin was also found guilty of failing to register as a sex offender in Tennessee in 2018. McAlpin had sent multiple images and videos containing child sexual abuse material to other Kik users in June of 2021. McAlpin pleaded guilty in July to one count of possession of child porn and one count of failure to register as a sex offender.
