Missouri’s Monroe City. According to court documents, two adults from Monroe City are accused of multiple charges of child sexual assault against six victims under the age of twelve. They are scheduled to appear before Judge Talley Smith for a bond hearing on Monday at 1:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, July 29, Nicole Volkert, the prosecuting attorney for Monroe County, filed a complaint against Elizabeth Parks, 35, and Stanley R. Thompson, Jr., 46. According to public records, Thompson and Parks share a residence.
For allegedly touching a child’s genitalia and anus, engaging in oral sex with two children, and touching his penis to another child’s genitalia between July 1, 2023, and July 28, 2025, Thompson was charged with five counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree. Between July 24, 2025, and July 28, 2025, he was also charged with one count of tampering with physical evidence for allegedly deleting files from a laptop that were pertinent to the statutory sodomy investigation.
For allegedly engaging in oral intercourse with three youngsters between July 1, 2023, and July 28, 2025, Parks faces three counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree. She is also accused of blocking or discouraging four victims from filing complaints, which entails four counts of interfering with a victim.
The Missouri Department of Corrections would impose a sentence of 10 years to life in prison without the chance of parole until 85 percent of the sentence has been completed if a jury finds either Thompson or Parks guilty of statutory sodomy. If a jury finds either of them guilty of tampering, they could be sentenced to a maximum fine of $10,000, one to seven years in jail without the possibility of release, or both.
On the evening of July 29, both defendants were taken into custody. On July 31, they appeared virtually for the first time from the Monroe County Jail in Paris.
Moberly resident Dana Weis has shown up as Parks’ lawyer. Thompson doesn’t have a lawyer yet.
