A Concordia resident who was facing sex-related felony charges for allegedly having inappropriate sexual relations with a juvenile changed his plea in court to some of the charges earlier this month.

A probable-cause statement says on May 10, a 13-year-old girl alleged to Lafayette County Department of Family Services that Caleb Michael Ingalls had been raping her. She also alleged Ingalls had assaulted her by throwing her to the ground and stomping on the side of her head, causing an injury that was treated at Western Missouri Medical Center in Warrensburg.

Ingalls told authorities that regarding the alleged rape, the girl had seduced him, and the sex was consensual. And regarding the alleged assault, he said the girl had kicked him first.

According to court documents, as part of a plea deal, Ingalls withdrew his not-guilty plea and pleaded guilty to two felonies, including statutory rape or attempted statutory rape in the first degree with a person less than 14 years old. The court dismissed the domestic assault in the third degree charge.

Ingalls is scheduled to be sentenced at 4 p.m. on Monday, January 3, 2022, at Lafayette County Circuit Court.
