Webb City man charged with felony sexual abuse

The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a second-degree sexual abuse charge Wednesday against a Webb City man who allegedly molested a sleeping woman in a Neosho home.

According to the probable cause statement, the woman awakened to find the hand of Gary Dean Allen (DOB 2001) down the front of her pajama shorts making contact with her vaginal area.

{She} reported that she did not consent to this sexual contact and was asleep when it occurred. {She} further provided investigators with text message exchanges between herself and Mr. Allen following the incident. 

In these messages, Mr. Allen admitted that his actions were wrong, acknowledged touching {her} while she was asleep, and stated that he was too much of a "bitch" to have asked her, indicating knowledge of the lack of consent at the time of the offense.
