Webb City man charged with molesting girl

A Webb City man has been charged with sexually molesting a 14-year-old girl in a Joplin cemetery.
The Newton County prosecutor filed a charge of forcible sodomy this week against Derrick G. Koon, 21, following an investigation by the Joplin Police Department.
Assistant Prosecutor Bill Dobbs told the Globe the charge stems from an allegation by the girl, also from Webb City, that Koon forced her to perform an oral sex act on him and otherwise molested her with his fingers on May 4 at Osborne Cemetery, 3300 S. McClelland Blvd.
“He (reportedly) used some threat of force to accomplish his goal,” Dobbs said.
He said the victim told police she had known Koon since March. She said they had been riding around in a car together with two other people and stopped in the cemetery. Koon and the girl got out of the vehicle and walked together to the spot in the cemetery where the assault took place, she told police.
Dobbs said police were able to determine that one of the other occupants of the car witnessed from a distance part of the alleged acts.
He said the molestation apparently was reported initially to Webb City police. The Webb City Police Department contacted Joplin police on May 8 and an investigation ensued that included an interview of the girl at the Children’s Center in Joplin.
Dobbs said a police report states that Koon acknowledged to investigators that he’d had sexual contact with the girl.
