The Cass County Sheriff’s Office with the assistance of the FBI arrested a 36-year-old Belton man this week as part of an ongoing child pornography and enticement investigation.
Kenneth T. Mize, a registered sex offender, was taken into custody Wednesday following a search at his home in the 500 block of Sagebrush Lane.
The Cass County Prosecutor’s Office charged Mize with two counts of failing to register as a sex offender. Specifically, Mize is accused of failing to register an online account and an email address with the sheriff’s office.
He previously registered as a sex offender in Cass County last October.
