The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed statutory rape and sodomy charges against Eiken Elam Saimon, the man charged with murdering three Micronesian church leaders during an afternoon service at the First Congregational Church of Neosho.
The crimes, which involved a 14-year-old girl, allegedly took place two days before the shooting, according to Newton County Circuit Court records.
A bond hearing for Saimon, originally scheduled for today, was not held. Judge Greg Stremel upheld the prosecuting attorney's motion to continue holding Saimon without bond until a hearing can be conducted.
Saimon's preliminary hearing on three counts of murder, four counts of assault, and one count each of armed criminal action and felonious restraint, is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sept. 18.
