STOVER, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Morgan County prosecutor has charged a Stover man with sex crimes against a child after an alleged sexual assault occurred in Sept.

Harvey Pendleton is charged with third-degree child molestation and two counts of second-degree statutory sodomy.

The victim told Morgan County Sheriff's deputies that Pendleton assaulted her on two separate occasions as she visited the Pendleton's residence in Sept., according to court documents.

When deputies spoke with Pendleton during the investigation, he asked if he needed an attorney before speaking to law enforcement, documents say.

Pendleton was arraigned Wednesday and entered a not-guilty plea.

Pendleton has a bond hearing set for next Tuesday. He is currently in the Morgan County Jail.
