A Sarcoxie man was sentenced to 18 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections on September 16, 2026, for one count of Child Molestation in the Second Degree and one count of Sexual Misconduct Involving a Child.
Glenn Jump, 64, was sentenced by Judge Kevin Selby of the 40th Judicial Circuit, following his August 5th plea, at which time he admitted to his crimes.
According to the investigation conducted by the Newton County Sheriff’s Office, the two victims of the abuse were provided marijuana, alcohol, and pornography by Jump between the summer of 2020 and the summer of 2024.
When interviewed by Detective Daniel Martin, Jump admitted to soliciting the minors and exchanging marijuana for sexual acts.
The Children’s Center of Southwest Missouri conducted forensic interviews of the victims in the spring of 2025 following their disclosures. Detective Martin also recovered messages between Jump and the victims to corroborate the information they provided.
“Mr. Jump will now spend 18 years in the Missouri Department of Corrections, and given his age, this sentence should ensure he spends the remainder of his life in prison, something I wish had been accomplished when he was convicted of similar crimes in 1995,” said Newton County Prosecuting Attorney William Lynch.

“Offenders like Jump should never see the light of day, and stiffer penalties are necessary to help prosecutors lock up pedophiles for life.”
“While no sentence can undo the harm caused by this defendant, this outcome ensures that he will be held accountable and that he will not have the opportunity to victimize children again. The bravery shown by these two victims in coming forward, speaking with investigators, and coming forward to speak about their abuse cannot be overstated. Their courage allowed law enforcement and our office to hold the defendant accountable,” Lynch added.
The case was investigated by Daniel Martin of the Newton County Sheriff’s Office with assistance from our partners at the Children’s Center of Southwest Missouri and prosecuted by Nate Dally and William Lynch of the Newton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Kayla McQuigg of the Newton County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office provided integral victim services throughout the pendency of the case.
