A Dexter, Mo., man has been charged with having deviant sexual intercourse with a child.
Robert Lewis Phillips, 71, was released Friday from Stoddard County Jail on a $25,000 bond after his arrest on two felony charges related to statutory sodomy involving a minor less than 12 years old.
According to Missouri court records, the probable cause in the case has been ordered closed by Stoddard County Judge Joe Satterfield.
Satterfield issued the order Monday, making the document a Level 3 confidential court record because the alleged victim is a minor child. The statement contains detailed and graphic descriptions of alleged sexual offenses and much of the identifying information in the statement cannot be redacted, according to Satterfield's order.
Phillips posted a cash only bond Friday, after a search warrant was requested and issued.
No attorney was listed for Phillips on Missouri's online court records service.
