A Cassville man is in jail facing statutory sodomy, child molestation and child endangerment charges after an alleged molestation of a child under the age of 14. Danny Brock, 39, of Cassville, was booked into the Barry County Jail on Friday, February 3, and posted a $25,000 bond and was released today, Wednesday, February 8.
According to the affidavit of probable cause by Cassville Police Department officer Danny Boyd, the victim was a juvenile female who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Brock. The child had told her step-mother about the events.
The victim was interviewed at the Child Advocacy Center in Monett on January 6. The report states the child said Brock had her wear clear plastic gloves to touch his private part. The report also stated the child demonstrated the action with her hands.
According to the affidavit, the assault took place between five and seven times in Brock’s bedroom.
Brock was formerly employed with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department as a jailer and was a reserve officer with the department. Barry County Sheriff Gary Davis said his reserve has been revoked and he hasn’t worked for the department in two years.
Davis said, “Mr. Brock was previously employed as a jailer. I haven’t reviewed his personnel file, but I know he did not receive a penny from the department since 2015. He has not worked here in two years.
“He does have a Missouri State Peace Officer license and he was a reserve officer with the department. Since we found out about the charges, that [the reserve status] was cancelled.”
Barry County Prosecuting Attorney Amy Boxx charged Brock with statutory sodomy in the first degree, sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 14, child molestation in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree as a first offense with sexual conduct. Brock is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing on April 27 under Judge Robert Foulke.
