STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Numen SERVIN, Appellant.

WD 86554

Decided: March 04, 2025

Before Division Three: W. Douglas Thomson, Presiding Judge, and Karen King Mitchell and Thomas N. Chapman, Judges

Andrew Bailey, Attorney General, and Abigail M. Meharg, Assistant Attorney General, Jefferson City, MO, Attorneys for Respondent. Shajiah Jaffri, Assistant Public Defender, Kansas City, MO, Attorney for Appellant.

Order

Numen Servin appeals, following a bench trial, his convictions of four counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, § 566.062,¹ for which he was sentenced to consecutive terms of ten years’ imprisonment on each count, for an aggregate sentence of forty years’ imprisonment. Servin raises a single claim on appeal; he argues that the trial court plainly erred in admitting Victim's out-of-court statements to Friend under § 491.075 because the statements lacked sufficient indicia of reliability. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
