A Texas County Sheriff’s Department investigation led to charges of child molestation against a Salem man.
Texas County Prosecutor Parke Stevens Jr. charged Leslee Cook, 45, with statutory sodomy with a person less than 12 years of age and second-degree child molestation of a child less than 12 years of age.
The alleged victim told investigators of multiple encounters with the suspect.
Bond was set at $250,000. He is held in the Texas County Jail.
A formal arraignment is Jan. 23 in Texas County Associate Circuit Court.
Crimes like these shouldn’t have an allowable bond. Our Missouri Governor and constituents should sign a law effective immediately for a 0 tolerance policy!
Why is this sorry excuse of a human still walking the streets out on bail two years later aloud around children Polaski County and the state of Missouri!!!???
