Audrain County man pleads guilty to statutory rape

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Mexico, Missouri, man on Tuesday pleaded guilty to first-degree statutory rape.
Nickolas Gage Crum, 19, was previously charged with first-degree statutory rape and statutory sodomy of a person younger than 14 years old. A sentencing date has not been scheduled.
Court documents in previous reporting say that the victim was sexually assaulted by Crum several times.
Documents in previous reporting say Crum had “an electronic file about ‘how to beat the case,’ and bragged to others about how he could be innocent ‘even with a public defender.’”
