Sexual assault alleged in Platte City

Some apparently heavy drinking on Saturday night led to the arrest of two people with much more serious charges possible for one of the people arrested.

Police were called to a residence on the 300 block of Ferrel Street in Platte City early Sunday morning for a possible sexual assault.

According to Platte City Police Chief William Massock, police arrived at the residence and found several people intoxicated.

A 21-year-old woman was arrested for contributing to minors while a 20-year-old male was arrested for minor in possession. In addition, an 18-year-old female is accusing the arrested male of sexually assaulting her.

Massock said no charges have been filed against the male, pending an investigation. Massock said it has been hard for police to get any solid answers despite several witnesses because of the level of intoxication by everyone involved.

Massock said he was unsure whether or not the victim sought medical attention.
