COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Moberly man has been charged after he was accused of sexually assaulting a man he knew had “cognitive deficits.”
Tomy Morgan, 55, was charged with first-degree sexual abuse. He was not listed on the Randolph County Jail roster on Thursday afternoon, but a $40,000 bond was issued on Wednesday, according to court filings. A court date has not been scheduled.
The probable cause statement says Moberly police were called to a Casey’s location about a peace disturbance, where a woman confronted Morgan about sexually assaulting an autistic man.
The victim allegedly confided to the woman, upon seeing his vehicle, that he was sexually assaulted by Morgan in July, court documents say. The man allegedly told police that Morgan tricked him into removing clothing and began sexually abusing him, the statement says.
Morgan allegedly told police it occurred consensually, but stopped when told to stop, though the actions Morgan described did not match the victim’s account, according to the statement.
The statement says it is “apparent” that the victim has “cognitive deficits, and has a low level of maturity.
