A 37-year-old Sedalia man is facing a couple of felonies for allegedly having inappropriate relations with a juvenile.

On August 13, the father of a 14-year-old juvenile reported to authorities, that his brother, Joshua E. Breshears inappropriately touched the young girl. According to the report, the abuse occurred when the girl was approximately 6-years-old while Breshears was living with his brother and the juvenile.

Breshears is charged with two counts of a Class B Felony for Child Molestation in the First Degree. He posted $50,000 surety bond on December 29.

Breshears waived formal arraignment and pleaded not guilty on December 22. Due to inclement weather, Breshears’ arraignment in the trial division of Pettis County Circuit Court is set for 1:30 p.m. Monday, March 15.
