A hearing is set for Thursday in Greene County for a member of an area volunteer fire department facing charges of dealing with child pornography.

According to a federal criminal complaint reported by the Branson Tri-Lakes News, Cameron Allen Ryan is accused of knowingly receiving and distributing materials which involved the use of a minor engaging in explicit conduct.

Ryan, who has been a member of the Western Taney County Fire Protection District for several years, was investigated by an FBI Task Force after a tip from a citizen reported the activity and tied it to an email address eventually traced to Ryan.

According to a post on the Fire District's Facebook Page, Ryan has been suspended while the process of the investigation continues.

The complete recap of the story can be found on the Branson Tri-Lakes News Website.
