William Noble, 44 formerly of Clinton, has been sentenced to a total of eighty-eight years in prison for forcible sodomy, three counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree, and two counts of incest.
The charges
stem from an investigation done by the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. A report
was made in 2024 regarding sexual abuse that had occurred in the home of
William Noble in Henry County during the early to mid 2000s. Throughout the
investigation, two more victims were located and disclosed similar acts by the
defendant that occurred during relatively the same time period.
The jury
trial was conducted in January 2025 in Bates County, Missouri. Henry County
Prosecuting Attorney LaChrisha Gray and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Cody
Johnson tried the case on behalf of the State of Missouri. Noble was
represented by counsel.
After
hearing from the victims and other evidence, the jury found Noble guilty of all
six counts. On April 4, 2025, Circuit Judge James Kjar held a sentencing
hearing. Henry County Prosecutor Gray requested the Court sentence the
defendant to life on each count of sodomy.
