Sexual misconduct, property damage charges filed after incident in Neosho Walmart


Misdemeanor sexual misconduct and property damage charges were filed in Newton County Circuit against a Higginsville man who allegedly took women's bathing suits into a Neosho Walmart fitting room and masturbated into them.

Caleb James Sealy (DOB 2002) is free after posting a $500 bond. His next hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m; September 28 in Newton County Circuit Court.

The crime allegedly took place July 4 with the probable cause statement saying Sealy removed the bathing suits from the rack, taking them into the fitting room, masturbating into them and then returning the bathing suits to the rack.

From the probable cause statement:

Based on the investigation, there is probable cause to believe the defendant knowingly damaged Walmart property by contaminating merchandise with bodily fluids, rendering it unsellable.
The amended information notes that Sealy "knowingly took a substantial step toward sexual contact with another by ejaculating onto women's swimsuits and placing them upon a rack of swimsuits for sale for the purpose of arousing or gratifying defendant's own sexual desire."

The Neosho Police Department arrested Sealy at a traffic stop. According to the probable cause statement, he denied any wrongdoing.
