Moberly Girl Scout Troop Leader Faces Child Pornography and Molestation Charges

A Moberly Girl Scout Troop Leader has been charged with three counts of second degree child molestation and one count of possession of child pornography. According to court documents, 43-year-old Shawn Allen McGee is accused of molesting a minor and giving the child cold medicine to induce drowsiness. The child’s mother also found child pornography on his computer in the spring of 2020. A forensic examiner found more than 20 pornographic images of children on his desktop computer. McGee was arrested Monday, and has been released on $40,000 bond, and is scheduled to be arraigned next Monday. Although the incident does not involve a child McGee knew from Girl Scouts, Wendy Whelan, Director of Strategic Engagement for the Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland, says it’s understandable that parents would have concerns.
