KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An Iowa man has been charged by criminal complaint for travelling with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct and receipt of child pornography over the internet. Lyle M. Moser, 51, appeared in federal court this week on a two-count criminal complaint. According to court documents, Moser drove from Iowa to Kansas City, Mo. to engage in sexual conduct with a minor child.
Moser was intercepted by law enforcement.
