Biloxi man sentenced to 40 years for child porn

A Biloxi man will spend 40 years in prison after being convicted on child porn charges.

District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath said 50-year-old Travis Damon Wade was convicted Thursday on three counts of possession of child pornography and three counts of voyeurism.

He was sentenced to 40 years in prison without possibility of parole or early release.

Jackson County Sheriff’s investigators searched Wade’s house in Biloxi on June 9 , 2022 as part of an investigation into sex crimes committed by Robert and Christina Baylis. The were both sentenced to 40 years last month for their crimes.

During the search, investigators seized electronic devices that contained thousands of images of child porn, as well as evidence related to the crimes committed by the Baylises.

“The crimes of Wade and the Baylises are nothing short of evil,” McIlrath said. “We all must remain vigilant and resolute in the protection of children. Our community will not accept
victimizing children. These 40-year prison sentences are proof of that.”
