An arrest warrant was issued today for a Carthage man charged with statutory sodomy and child molestation.
The probable cause statement, which was filed today in Jasper County Circuit Court, alleges Juan Jose Tamayo (DOB 1982), sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl.
From the statement:
On July 1, 2025, Carthage Detectives received information from the Missouri Children’s Division that alleged the six (6) year old juvenile victim had been subjected to sexual contact by a family friend, Juan Tamayo Sanchez.During a subsequent forensic interview with the juvenile victim, she recounted on multiple occasions that the defendant would subject her to sexual contact over and under her clothes by touching her breast, genitals, and anus.
She recounted a time when the defendant performed deviant sexual intercourse with her in the suspect's home.
The probable cause statement indicates Tamayo and a woman described as his "paramour" have not cooperated with investigating officers and that they haven't been at their home since September.
The paramour "has a daughter the same age as the victim," according to the statement.
When Tamayo is arrested, he will be held without bond.
