KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Prosecutor Kellie Wingate Campbell on Wednesday said she was dismissing all charges against five men accused of sexually molesting young relatives on a western Missouri farm more than 20 years ago.
“This was a highly unusual series of cases and the outcome should not deter other victims of crime from reporting those crimes,” she told The Associated Press after notifying courts in three counties of her action.
Six members of the Mohler family — Burrell Sr.; his sons Burrell Jr., David, Jared and Roland; and his brother, Darrel — were arrested in November 2009 after several young family members told investigators about a series of bizarre sex crimes that allegedly took place on a farm east of Kansas City.
