A California, Missouri man accused of multiple serious crimes is set to appear in court today.

Court records show that 21-year-old Ernest Blair Jr. faces 29 counts of child pornography, statutory rape, and making terroristic threats.

Authorities say one of the charges stems from a 2023 incident involving a gun threat directed at Eldon High School.

Blair’s hearing in the statutory rape case is scheduled for 9 a.m. today at the Moniteau County Courthouse.
