An Ozark man is accused of sexually assaulting a young child and several others over the course of decades.

Leo Evans, 69, of Ozark, was booked into the Christian County Jail and is charged with seven felonies.

According to court documents, the arrest and charges come after a sex toy was found in a 4-year-old child’s bedroom in December of 2021. The child said Evans gave her the sex toy.

Evans denied everything in an interview with deputies.

In a probable cause statement, a deputy for the Christian County Sheriff’s Office recounts several other victims who have spoken out against Evans.
