(KNZA)--A Jackson County man who remained free after he convicted last week on several child sex charges has been taken into custody.
Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says deputies took Anthony Bowers, of Soldier, into custody Tuesday morning at the Jackson County courthouse after his probation was revoked in a different case.
A Jackson County jury found Bowers guilty last Thursday on charges of rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child following a trial that began Monday.
A sentencing date hasn’t been set yet.
The crimes, involving a child who was five-years-old at the time, occurred between October and December of 2012.
Bowers first trial in December 2014 ended with a hung jury.
He was arrested in March 2014, but was released five days later after posting a $50,000 bond.
Following his conviction last week, Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller requested that Bowers be remanded to custody to await sentencing but a judge denied the request.
