A former Springfield YMCA employee has been indicted by a federal grand jury for receiving and distributing child pornography over the Internet.
Benjamin Goodwin, 28, of Springfield, was charged in an indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Springfield on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017. Goodwin, an employee of the Springfield YMCA at the time of the offense, was arrested this morning.
The federal indictment alleges that Goodwin received and distributed child pornography over the Internet between June 11, 2016, and Aug. 3, 2017.
Larson cautioned that the charge contained in this indictment is simply an accusation, and not evidence of guilt.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Southwest Missouri Cybercrimes Task Force.
