EMPHASIS: Kahoka Resident Arrested On Sex Charges


At approximately 2:39 p.m., on October 9, 2013, Richard M. Koenig, 35, of Kahoka, Missouri, was arrested on a three-count Clark County felony warrant for first degree statutory sodomy, first degree endangering the welfare of a child, and incest. Koenig was transported to the Clark County Jail where he is being held on a $100,000 bond.
The issuance of the arrest warrant followed an investigation conducted by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Missouri Division of Family Services. During the investigation, it was alleged that Koenig had sexually abused a 10-year-old female.
The charges for which Koenig was arrested are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
