A former Ozark County man has been arrested for child molestation involving family members dating back to 1999 and occurring as recently as this year. Facing three felony charges in the case is 62-year-old John R. Reed of Mountain Grove, formerly of Bakersfield where many of the crimes occurred.
According to the probable cause affidavit in the case, the case started when investigators with the Ozark and Wright county sheriff’s offices met with one victim who is now 30-years-old. She gave details of an incident that occurred in 1999 at Reed’s house in Bakersfield while Reed’s wife was at work.
Other victims told investigators of similar incidents that occurred when Reed’s wife was at work. Some of the incidents happened in Reed’s car while he was driving.
All of the victims were age 10 or under when the molestations occurred.
Reed is facing three felony counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree. He is being held in the Ozark County Jail without bond at this time.
