EXCLUSIVE: Top Kinder Aide, Former Hulshof District Director and "Top Advisor" Charged for Providing Porn to a Minor

Fired Up Missouri has learned that the Chief of Staff to Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder has been charged with furnishing pornography to a minor.  Eric Feltner served as District Director for Congressman Kenny Hulshof before joining Kinder's staff in 2005.

Charging documents filed by the Cole County prosecutor indicate that Feltner was implicated via sting operation in which he engaged in explicit online exchanges with someone he believed to be 13 years old.

From Kinder's 2005 announcement of his hiring comes this bit on Feltner:

"I am very please to have someone of Eric's caliber and experience joining the staff. I look forward having him as an integral member of my team," said Kinder.

"Eric has been a very effective advocate on my behalf for over eight years," said Congressman Hulshof. "As one of my top advisors, he has played an integral role in both a political and official capacity since 1996. I thank him for his tremendous effort and wish him the best of luck."

Feltner is scheduled to be arraigned on June 27 in Cole County Circuit Court.
