The Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a first-degree sexual abuse charge Wednesday against a Joplin man who allegedly rubbed a 5-year-old girl's vagina while she was sitting on his lap.
The incident took place between December 3 and December 8 while Matthew Duane Thompson (DOB 1985) was at a Webb City home.
The child's mother was a witness to the incident, according to the probable cause statement.
An arrest warrant was issued for Thompson with no bond.
The case was investigated by the Webb City Police Department.
