Former Teacher to go on Trial in April

A former Miller County teacher from the St. Elizabeth R-4 school district accused of producing child pornography will go on trial next month in Jefferson City. 26 year old Stephen Strobel was arrested in 2014 following an investigation in which police allegedly found 15 nude images of children under the age of 18. Strobel was indicted by a federal grand jury in November of 2014 and faces 4 counts of owning, sharing and receiving child pornography over the internet. His trial was continued earlier this month and is now set to begin on April 25th. If convicted, he faces a minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 80 years in prison.
