Order

Following a jury trial, William Chamness was convicted of one count of first-degree child molestation, § 566.067, four counts of first-degree statutory rape, § 566.032, and nine counts of first-degree statutory sodomy, § 566.062, for which he was sentenced to a total of ninety years’ imprisonment.
