On October 4, 2025 Texas County Deputies began an investigation for sexual assault
after a victim reported an incident that occurred on September 28, 2025 at a residence in the Cabool area. The adult victim reported going to a residence and meeting Christian Simmons.
The victim reported being provided with intoxicants that may have contained additional
sedatives. The victim reported losing consciousness and the suspect subjecting the victim to sexual contact and choking. The victim was able to provide additional electronic evidence
indicating an admission of an assault committed by the suspect.
Texas County Deputies located Simmons at his residence, and he was arrested. Simmons invoked his legal right to not make a statement about the allegations.
Prosecuting Attorney Parke Stevens charged Christian Simmons, age 33, of Cabool
with Rape 1st Degree and Domestic Assault 2nd Degree. Simmons is being held in the Texas County Jail on a no bond warrant signed by Associate Circuit Court Judge Brad Eidson. The Texas County Sheriff’s Office was assisted in this investigation by the Licking Police Department.
The above charges are mere accusations and are not evidence of guilt. Evidence in
support of the charges must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
