KIRKWOOD, Mo. — A convicted sex offender accused of driving from Oklahoma to North Carolina to pick up a Union County teen was expected to appear in court Friday, but his hearing was delayed.
Christopher Porter, 30, was set to make an appearance in a Missouri courtroom Friday morning for a bond hearing.
Porter faces numerous felony charges, including rape and possession of child pornography.
The Monroe Police Department said he drove to Indian Trail to pick up the teen in October.
They were both later found in Kirkwood, Missouri, which is in the St. Louis metropolitan area.
Porter’s hearing on Friday was postponed because his public defender’s application still needs to be processed.
A new date hasn’t been set yet.
