WHAT A HEEL: MO Perv Spikes Ice Cream, Knocks Out Girls, Makes Online Porno
Prosecutors allege that James Phillip Edwards, 60, of Kansas City, MO, fed several young girls ice cream and soda spiked with a sleeping pill, disrobed them from the waist down and made videos of them that he stored in a computer file named "Consuming the Date Rape Drug."
Edwards was charged with one count each of advertising child pornography over the Internet, attempted distribution of child pornography over the Internet and possession of child pornography, and the U.S. Attorney's office for the Western District of Missouri may press additional charges, reports The Associated Press:
Prosecutors said Edwards admitted giving "multiple minor girls" Ambien, a sedative, before making videos of them with their genitalia exposed and that the children ranged in age from 6 to 12. They said he told investigators he spent time spitting on one girl's face.
Prosecutors didn't say how Edwards knew the children or how they came to be in his home. But they said they believe all the girls have been identified and are safe.
Edwards' family members were apparently unaware of any alleged illegal activity, according to the court documents. He is married to his third wife.
If convicted on all the charges, Edwards could be sentenced to as much as 60 years in prison.
