Former Ballwin prosecutor pleads guilty

Former city of Ballwin prosecutor Dick Fox has pleaded guilty to charges of possession of child porn.

In August, Fox was arrested and released on an undisclosed amount of bond for charges related to possession of child porn. According to an indictment from the U.S. Attorney’s office, from Feb. 26, 2008, to March 24, 2009, Fox had images on his computer of a young girl or girls involved in sex acts.

Fox's trial was held Feb. 8 and could face up to 10 years in prison.

Fox was a long-tenured prosecutor for the city of Ballwin and, until recently, also was the prosecuting attorney for Clarkson Valley, a back-up municipal judge in Eureka.
