A Stover man was charged on Tuesday after he was accused of sexually assaulting children.
Joseph Kucera, 79, was charged with four counts of third-degree child molestation. He was not listed on the Morgan County Jail roster on Tuesday evening. A warrant was issued and a $250,000 bond was set.
Parents of a youth had reported a sexual assault by Kucera on June 10 and the victim – during a June 25 interview — described multiple assaults and inappropriate behaviors, according to the probable cause statement. A second victim also described multiple assaults to law enforcement, the statement says.
Kucera allegedly admitted to law enforcement during a Tuesday interview that he molested one of the youths, but denied touching the other one, court documents say.
