JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) — An eastern Missouri man being held on state charges accusing him of kidnapping a 12-year-old girl now also faces a federal charge.
The Joplin Globe reports a federal grand jury in Springfield has indicted 47-year-old Kevin Nosser on a charge of enticement of a child. He’s accused of abducting the child from her home in Miller on May 22. The grand jury returned the indictment Wednesday.
The federal indictment alleges that he used the Internet and a cellphone to entice the girl into sexual activity.
Nosser’s being held on $1 million bond in Lawrence County on a charge of child kidnapping. His lawyer in the state case didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Friday.
Authorities say law enforcement found the two together in Potosi.
