    Purdy man Samuel L. Pyatt, 40, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly molesting a seven-year old girl in his apartment.
After an interview at the Child Advocacy Center in Monett, the girl said during the interview that Pyatt had sexually assaulted her on July 10, according to the affidavit of probable cause written by Purdy Police Chief Jackie  Lowe.
    According to the girl’s statement, Pyatt performed sexual acts on her, locked her in the bedroom at his apartment, not letting her leave, and told her not to tell anyone what had happened or he would go to jail.
    Barry County Prosecuting Attorney Amy Boxx filed charges against Pyatt for statutory sodomy in the first degree and child molestation in the first degree on July 23.
    Pyatt is currently being held on  a $40,000 cash-only bond in the Barry County Jail.
If convicted, Pyatt could face life imprisonment for the crime.
