Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri vs. Jeremy Baum
Jeremy Baum appealed his convictions for sexual trafficking of a child in the second degree and promoting a sexual performance by a child, arguing insufficient evidence. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the evidence was sufficient to show Baum enticed the victim to engage in a sexual performance by directing her masturbation while he watched. The court also found sufficient evidence that Baum promoted a sexual performance by instructing the victim on vibrator use, with the relevant conduct occurring in Missouri.
