Sedalia Man Accused of Possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material

In February 2026, a Detective with the Sedalia Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Bureau, who also serves as a task force member with the Western Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children (WMICAC), opened an investigation into an individual who was allegedly in possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM).

Through multiple investigative methods, the individual was identified as 25-year-old Stephen K. Kramer, of Sedalia.

The Sedalia Police Department ICAC Detective applied for and obtained a search warrant for Kramer’s residence in the 2400 block of Golf Drive in Sedalia. On March 3, Detectives arrested Kramer and then subsequently executed the search warrant at his residence and seized several electronic devices, which will be forensically examined for additional CSAM.

ICAC Detectives are currently investigating Kramer for three separate CSAM-related incidents. Additional charges may be requested, as this is an ongoing investigation.

Kramer now faces charges of Possession of Child Pornography, Furnishing Pornography to a Minor, Enticement or Solicitation of a Child and Sexual Exploitation of a Minor.

Pettis County prosecutors filed charges against Kramer, and he was subsequently issued a $150,000 cash or surety bond by the judge.

Individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Kramer now has a court date of March 10.
