According to court documents, Dr. George Koch, 47, a former Carl Junction resident, was arrested July 28 on charges of rape, sodomy, incest, statutory rape and statutory sodomy.
The probable cause statement indicates a delivery man interrupted Koch during a sexual attack on his underage victim when he heard screaming coming from inside Koch's residence on April 13.
Court records indicate the sex was done by forcible compulsion.
Koch, an infectious disease specialist, is free after a $100,000 surety bond was posted. As a condition of his bond, he is required to have GPS monitoring.

Praying for Tony as this does not sound like him at all. Waiting for more facts to come out. He is a doctor who probably had many options to be with a woman.
He is the father of a military service man, too!
We are destroying a man before he has been proven guilty!
It says his name is George?
George is his legal name. He has always gone by Tony.
How surprising another pervert doctor that practiced in Joplin gets busted....7 41...what a stupid comment....he had many options...lol...but he only wanted the underage kids
You know her mother and grandmother, not her. What a terrible accusation to make about a young girl you've never met. Posts like these are a proof of a lack of education and rape culture in small towns. Just because you think you know somebody you had in class 30 years ago doesn't make victim blaming okay.
To the commenter directly above, I am a family member and he IS innocent. I know the situation very well, and the mother has encouraged this horrible accusation out of hatred. He is a first cousin of mine and we have talked about this. He has MANY supporters, his mother, his sister, myself, his high school personal friends, both male and female, college friends, male and female. I hope that you do come back and read this, because there is also a hate culture that exists of false claims of criminal behavior, which is a crime itself, to file a false police report. He IS innocent of these charges. There is no lack of education here or a lack of critical thinking. If you need further proof, just look back at the Brett Kavanaugh situation that happened in media in recent weeks. Someone trying to falsely blackmail a good man to the U.S. Supreme Court as a Justice. His life was turned upside down. The false accusation culture also exists. I agree with Tony's high school teacher. Tony is of impeccable character and a good father. He IS KNOWN by many people who BELIEVE HIM.
