Alleged enticement of a minor while at her home was reported by staff at a Chillicothe School. The Chillicothe Police Department received the report at about 12:55 Tuesday and began an investigation of alleged sexual misconduct, statutory rape, sodomy, and enticement of a minor.
The following day, Officers applied for and received a search warrant. Officers of the Chillicothe Police Department, Livingston County Sheriff’s Office, and Missouri State Highway Patrol served the warrant in the 200 block of E. Polk Street.
