Cuba Man Sentenced On Child Pornography Charge

A Cuba man has been sentenced to four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections for possessing child pornography.

Edward Cunningham-Hutson, 33, pleaded guilty Feb. 10. 

Cunningham-Hutson was arrested in November 2024 in the 200 block of Highway P in Cuba.

Authorities recovered 25 images of child porn from Cunningham-Hutson’s phone, some of which were artificially generated.

The probable cause statement said Cunningham-Hutson’s wife reported his activity to the police. She took video of the images on his phone.

Multiple photos were from a website called “Playground AI Art Generator.”

The case was bound over to the circuit court on Feb. 6, where Cunningham-Hutson waived his arraignment and entered a guilty plea.

Cunningham-Hutson is being held at the Fulton Reception & Diagnostic Center.
