A Texas man will make his first court appearance for child sex crimes two years after being charged in Buchanan County.

40-year-old David Throckmorton was arrested last week on a case that was originally filed in October of 2013.

Throckmorton is charged with first-degree statutory sodomy with a victim under 14 years old.

According to court documents between Aug. and Dec. of 2008 in Buchanan County Throckmorton sodomized a child by touching her genital area with his hand.

“The defendant has been charged in Bedford, TX for sex crimes (same victim),” said Trenny Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department. “The victim has healed injury consistent with child sexual abuse.”

Wilson said the defendant has also been convicted of assault to the victim’s mother.

An arraignment is set for Tuesday. A judge earlier set bond at $25,000.

Prosecutors have filed a motion to increase or deny bail.
