A St. Louis County man is pleading guilty to one county of receiving child pornography. 32-year-old Christopher Cotton was busted with more than 63,000 images and videos of child porn.
Cotton, who lives just outside Florissant, admitted to receiving images from 15 or more minors he contacted on social media. He was caught when he uploaded files to DropBox, which triggered a report to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. The FBI, Maryland Heights, and the St. Louis County SPecial Investigations Unit were all involved.
By pleading guilty to just one count, Cotton faces five to 20 years in prison.
