Production note: This article was reviewed and rewritten through Registry Recognizer's manual editorial process on 2026-09-03. The booking record and booking photograph are verified against the source system's own retained capture. The booking source published no statute citation for the charge, so the Missouri section cited above is general legal context attributed to the official code rather than the section the county charged. A search for Morgan County court documents was not attempted: this outlet does not yet have a configured court-records source for that county, so no court filings were found or ruled out either way. No case disposition is on record.
Jessie James Snell, 39, was booked at the Morgan County Jail on September 2, 2026, according to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office online roster. The record lists one charge, written as "CHILD MOLESTATION - 1ST DEGREE," and names the Morgan County Sheriff's Office as the arresting agency. The roster lists no bond amount and no case or docket number.
The booking record does not publish a statute citation for the charge, so the following is general legal context rather than the section the county charged. Missouri's current criminal code defines child molestation in the first degree at Section 566.067 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri: a person commits that offense by subjecting a person less than fourteen years old to sexual contact where the offense is an aggravated sexual offense. The statute makes it a class A felony, and provides that where the victim is less than twelve years old the term is served without eligibility for probation, parole or conditional release. This description explains what the statute covers; it is not a finding that Snell committed any element of it, and any penalty described would apply only upon conviction.
A booking record is a public record of an arrest and a charge. It is not a conviction, and Snell is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. No indictment, plea, or case disposition is recorded for this booking.
