(Tarkio) -- A Tarkio man faces statutory rape and incest charges following his arrest last month.

According to Missouri court records, Brett A. Reeves Jr was arrested on August 15th for 1st degree statutory rape with a person less than 14 years of age--an aggravated sexual offense--and incest, a class E felony. The complaint filed in Atchison County Circuit Court alleges that on or around August 5th, Reeves "knowingly had sexual intercourse with his daughter," a child less than 14 years old. Records indicate that Reeves "knew the individual to be his daughter by adoption."

Reeves was held without bond pending an appearance before a judge. After an initial appearance on August 19th, Reeves was then denied bond at a review hearing on Thursday after pleading not guilty.
