(KAIR)--An Atchison man is facing charges stemming from alleged sex crimes committed against a young girl.
Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson says 68-year-old Larry Mercer was arrested Wednesday following an investigation launched at the end of last month. “We began an investigation on January the 30th, focusing on unlawful sexual acts committed against a female victim that was under the age of 14,” Wilson tells MSC News. “We were alerted to this case by a family member.”
Without providing specifics, Wilson says the victim was known to Mercer.
Following his arrest, Mercer was booked into the Atchison County Jail on charges including rape, aggravated criminal sodomy, and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
