A man from Fort Smith, formerly of Branson, Missouri, pleaded guilty to two counts of felony first-degree child molestation in Taney County, Missouri, Circuit Court on Monday.
Judge Eric Eighmy ordered a sentencing assessment report to be completed, and scheduled a sentencing hearing for 19-year-old Tyler Martin on August 24.
Martin has no agreement with the Taney County Prosecutor’s Office regarding what sentence he will receive.
He admitted to molesting a 13-year-old girl at a motel on Green Mountain Drive in Branson on April 15-16 of last year. The girl disclosed the abuse that week and Branson Police began investigating immediately, according to Prosecutor Jeff Merrell.
Martin has a number of other cases pending against him, including one for passing bad checks.
He is jailed without bond in Forsyth.
