Jefferson City man charged with sexual abuse

A Jefferson City man is charged with sexual abuse involving a female victim under the age of 10.

A Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement shows a relative of the victim told police that Tyler Otto, 17, of 814 Montana St., lured the victim into a nearby home and then touched her inappropriately.

Otto claimed this never happened, but two witnesses told police Otto had told the victim to come into the home multiple times and that Otto was seen coming out with the victim from a bedroom, contradicting an earlier statement he gave saying they were always in separate rooms.
