Mount Vernon man accused of sexually abusing young girl
A Mount Vernon man waived a preliminary hearing Thursday on charges that he sexually abused a girl in Jasper County for seven years, beginning when she was 5 years old.
Gary A. Thornsbrough, 35, waived the hearing in Jasper County Circuit Court on three counts of first-degree statutory rape and three counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and was ordered bound over for trial by Associate Judge Joe Hensley. The judge set March 7 for the defendant’s initial appearance in a trial division of the court.
Thornsbrough is accused of sexually abusing the girl between June 2009 and April 2016 at three locations in Jasper County.
Charge dismissed in sexual abuse case
NEOSHO, Mo. — The Newton County prosecutor’s office on Friday dismissed a child sexual abuse charge that a Neosho man was facing, citing the difficulties that testifying in court poses for the alleged victim at this time.
Assistant Prosecutor Kathleen Miller said the charge of first-degree statutory sodomy could be refiled against Timothy T. Wilkins, 25, at some point in the future but was dismissed at a hearing Tuesday in Newton County Circuit Court.
Wilkins was accused of having sexual contact with a 6-year-old girl almost four years ago in Neosho. Wilkins was 22 at the time of the alleged abuse, according to a probable-cause affidavit. He was charged with the offense in September 2015 following an investigation by the Newton County Sheriff’s Department and the Missouri Department of Social Services.
