Several more men charged with child enticement in Boone County

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Three more men were charged with child enticement on Thursday in Boone County.

Ethan Deimeke, 27, of Auxvasse; David Burres, 32; and Brice Morris, 34, of Columbia;  were all charged on Thursday. They are all being held at the Boone County Jail without bond and have initial court appearances set for 1 p.m. Friday.

Court documents in all three cases state each man separately messaged a “decoy on an escort website” who they believed were youth on Wednesday. The brief statements for Deimeke and Morris say they believed their decoy was 16 years old and Burres believed his to be 14 years old.

The statements say Deimeke arrived at a Boone County address at 6:15 p.m. and “was in possession of the exact dollar amount discussed and a particular soft drink for the minor.”

Burres was detained when he arrived at 7 p.m. and Morris arrived at 8:15 p.m. Burres allegedly did not deny that he intended to meet a minor for sex and Morris allegedly admittedly his intent to pay for sex with a minor, court documents indicate.

Rollie Pogue, 29, of Moberly; and Jose Jimenzez, 54, of Columbia; were charged on Wednesday with the same charge. They are both being held at the Boone County Jail without bond. Arraignment were scheduled for Thursday afternoon.

Court documents in both cases say they also messaged a decoy on an escort website on Tuesday, who they believed was 16 years old. Both men were arrested around 3 p.m. Tuesday, according to court documents.

Daniel Follett, 56, and Rifat Apurba, 30, were also arrested earlier this week under similar circumstances and are charged with child enticement. They are both being held at the Boone County Jail without bond.

An arraignment for Follett was set for Thursday afternoon. Apurba waived his preliminary hearing on Thursday.

Follett was the general counsel for the Department of Revenue. A DOR spokesperson confirmed to ABC 17 News on Thursday that the department was aware of Follett's charges and that he had been terminated from his position.
