NEOSHO, Mo. — Citing an inability to locate the alleged victim, the Newton County prosecutor’s office asked a judge Tuesday to dismiss a statutory sodomy charge that a Neosho man was facing.
Robert A. Ropp was scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Newton County Circuit Court on a charge of first-degree statutory sodomy. He was accused of having sexual contact Jan. 29 with a girl under the age of 12 at an address in Neosho.
Associate Judge Gregory Stremel dismissed the charge at the request of Assistant Prosecutor Kathleen Miller. Miller said after the hearing that the girl apparently has moved to another part of the country and investigators have not been able to locate her.
