A Holden man is facing several felony charges for alleged inappropriate touching and other sexual acts involving a juvenile female.

According to a probable-cause statement, the girl told authorities Douglas Lee Meyers touched her inappropriately on several areas of her body between December 2020 and June 2022. The girl was less than 18 years of age at the time.

Meyers reportedly admitted to authorities of inappropriately touching the girl in one area but said he never touched her purposely in any of the other areas of her body. But he acknowledged this may have occurred while “playing around.” He also reportedly admitted that “while playing around,” he may have pulled down the girl’s pants.

According to court documents, Meyers is charged with felonies for three counts of child molestation, two counts of statutory sodomy and one count of attempted statutory rape. Bond is fixed at $75,000 cash only.

Meyers’ initial hearing is pending at Johnson County Circuit Court.
