COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
A Randolph County man has been charged in Audrain County with eight child sex charges stemming back two years.
Floyd Yoder is charged with two counts of first-degree statutory rape of a person less than 12 years old, five counts of statutory sodomy – deviated sexual intercourse with a person less than 12 years old, and one count of first-degree rape with a victim less than 12 years old.
Court documents state that a confidential person left a voicemail for the Audrain County Sheriff on July 29.
During a follow-up with the person, deputies learned an 11-year-old girl had reported a man in the community had been doing sexual things to her in Spring 2024.
Deputies said the person told deputies that they didn’t know that Yonder was the suspect until April 2025. They also said Yonder allegedly admitted he tried to assault two juveniles, including a three-year-old.
Documents state that Yonder allegedly told deputies in July during a conversation with an investigator from the Missouri Children’s Division that he assaulted both victims at his house in rural Clark.
Yonder allegedly admitted to deputies during a post-Miranda interview that he had touched both children multiple times over the past two years.
Prosecutors charged him as a predatory sexual offender, which means he could be sentenced to life in prison, because there were at least two victims.
Online records show he was served a warrant on Tuesday.
