KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A federal judge has granted an extension for motions in the case of a Kansas man facing child pornography charges.
U.S. District Judge Carlos Murguia on Wednesday extended the deadline for pre-trial motions in the case of Michael D. Arnett of Roeland Park. The motions, previously required Aug. 6, are due Oct. 9.
Arnett faces federal charges of making, possessing and distributing child pornography. A lawyer for Arnett says he’s pleaded not guilty.
Investigators have said Arnett’s computer files also contained online chats about his desire to abduct, kill and eat children and had a photo of a naked toddler in a roasting pan inside his oven.
The child has been identified and found alive.
A Florida man who Arnett allegedly had the conversations with said the discussions were fantasy.
