Man from Texas County Facing Child Sex Crime Charges

A man from Texas County is in custody, accused of sex crimes against children.

Prosecutors say 29-year-old Devan Vandgrifft-Wnorowski, of Licking, MO, has been charged with first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse.

Police were tipped off to his crimes during a camping trip over the weekend.

A 16-year-old, one of four that Vandgrifft-Wnorowski was supervising during the trip, claimed he sexually assaulted her.

The other children on the camping trip corroborated the story.
