LINCOLN COUNTY, Mo. — A man is facing new charges after a third girl accused him of sexually assaulting them years apart at a Lincoln County home.

A press release from the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office in January said Aaron Craig, 39, was charged with first-degree and fourth-degree child molestation in connection with two separate incidents. On Monday, the sheriff's office charged him with two more counts of fourth-degree child molestation and two counts of failing to stop a person under 21 from drinking alcohol.

Detectives started their investigation after two girls said they were assaulted by Craig. The release said a girl younger than 15 told police he assaulted her at a 2019 New Year's party at a home on Millwood Drive. A girl younger than 14 told police she was assaulted by him at the same house when she was younger than 11.

The third victim accused him of touching her inappropriately at the same 2019 New Year's party. She told police she started crying and told Croag to get away from her. He then begged her not to tell anyone.

Deputies arrested Craig last month. He refused to speak to investigators. 

His cash-only bond was bumped up from $150,000 to $200,000. He is still being held in the Lincoln County Jail.
