Jury Finds Jackson Co Man Guilty on Child Sex Charges

(KNZA)--Guilty.

That’s was the verdict handed down Thursday evening by a Jackson County jury in the retrial of Anthony Bowers, of Soldier, on three child sex-related charges.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says the jury found Bowers guilty of rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated criminal sodomy.

The trial began Monday and the jury returned the verdict after deliberating more than 90 minutes.

The crimes occurred between October and December 2012 involving a six-year-old child at the time.

Miller says a sentencing date has not been set yet.  She says Bowers remains free on bond despite her request that he be remanded into custody.

His first trial in December 2014 ended with a hung jury.
