Columbia man charged with 13 child sex crimes

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Columbia man faces more than a dozen charges for child sex crimes.

David Walter Nacarato, 39, was charged on Thursday with five counts of first-degree child molestation, three counts of statutory rape, first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, two counts of statutory sodomy of a victim and possession of child pornography. All charges state the victims were younger than 12 years old.

Nacarato is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. An initial court appearance was held Monday. Jail records indicate his next court date is 1:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 11.

The probable cause statement indicates the assaults occurred between 2021-23. One of the victims underwent a SANE exam following an injury. Documents initially stated the child "fell off a bike" but a physical exam indicated injuries related to sexual assault.

That victim eventually stated there was sexual contact from Nacarato and that he lied about the incident, according to the probable cause statement.
