William David Kleuser, 45, was booked into the Morgan County Jail in Versailles, Missouri, on August 4, 2026, according to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office inmate roster. The Sheriff's Office is listed as the arresting agency.
The roster lists six charges: two counts of statutory rape in the second degree; three counts of statutory rape or attempted statutory rape in the first degree involving a child less than 14 years of age, classified as an aggravated sexual offense; and one count of child molestation in the third degree involving a child less than 14 years of age.
The roster does not publish statute citations for the charges. Under the Missouri Revised Statutes, statutory rape in the first degree is codified at Section 566.032, statutory rape in the second degree at Section 566.034, and child molestation in the third degree at Section 566.069. Those sections are provided as general legal context and are not drawn from the roster.
A criminal charge is an allegation. Mr. Kleuser is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. The booking record reflects an arrest and does not establish that any offense occurred; it is not an indictment, a conviction, or a court disposition, and no disposition is recorded. The Sheriff's Office notes that charges and bail amounts may change after court appearances and may not be current.
