A St Joseph man is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on a charge of Statutory Sodomy for allegedly having sex with a child under the age of six.

Terry Matson, 54, is being held in the Buchanan County Jail under $25,000 bond.

According to court documents, the victim said sexual contact happened in 2014 and continued into this year.

 

Online court documents show Mr Matson has been convicted and sentenced to jail time on several occasions for non-support.  Investigators say he has failed to appear in court at least five times.
