Sikeston man arrested for sexual misconduct with 9-year-old

SIKESTON, Mo. -- A Sikeston has been arrested man after allegedly showing pornographic movies and undressing himself in front of a child.

Willie Ray McGee, 61, is charged with five felony counts of sexual misconduct involving a child under 15 years old and five misdemeanor counts of furnishing or attempting to furnish pornographic material to a minor.
