Columbia woman caught in federal child porn case

A Columbia woman arrested on federal child pornography charges should be held without bond as a flight risk and danger to children, prosecutors argued in a motion filed Thursday.

Brittany Bailey, 29, was arrested on a federal warrant signed Monday in Washington, D.C., charging her with being a part of a national ring of people who shared child pornography and graphic descriptions of child rape in an online chat service.

“The Government submits that there is clear and convincing evidence that there are no conditions which the court could place on the defendant’s release which would reasonably assure her future appearance in court and the safety of the community,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Ashley Turner wrote in the motion filed in the Western District of Missouri.

A detention hearing for Bailey is set for Tuesday in Jefferson City.
