A south Kansas City man has been charged with sexually molesting a child younger than 14.
Jackson County prosecutors charged 48-year-old James M. Burton with sexual molestation of a child, sexual misconduct and two counts of statutory sodomy. A judge set his bond at $100,000.
The incident reportedly occurred earlier this month in the garage of Burton’s home, according to court documents.
It was reported to police April 8 after the girl told her mother that Burton “touched my privates,” according to the allegations outlined in court documents.
