George Phillips, 24, of Kansas City, Kan., has been charged with two counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree with a child less than 14 years of age.
The victim told a Platte County Sheriff’s Office patrol sergeant that he had been raped in the wooded area surrounding Leipard Lane in Platte City in 2019.
The victim said he went for a walk and Phillips followed him into the wooded area, where he took off his clothes, pulled down the boy’s pants and sexually assaulted him.
During the rape, the boy told Phillips that what he was doing wasn’t right, but Phillips didn’t respond.

The victim said that Phillips did later stop, but the victim didn’t know why.
Phillips told the boy not to tell anyone about the assault.
He told the boy that he did it to help Phillips “get ready for his wife.” He didn’t tell the child what would happen to him if he told anyone.
According to court documents, another child was also asked for sex by Phillips and refused his advances and told her mother about the incident. She then contacted the police.
The boy described Phillips as a ‘bad man’ who has a mental illness.
Another boy said Phillips had sex with him two times in July 2019 in Phillips’ bedroom in Kansas City, Kan.
The Kansas City, Kan., Police Department is conducting its own investigation into these incidents.
When detectives tried to speak to Phillips in October 2019 he was not in custody.
Phillips told them he couldn’t discuss his involvement in the case because he didn’t want to be involved in anything like this because he was going to Indonesia to meet his future wife who he was trying to get to come to the U.S. on a fiancée visa.
He didn’t deny the allegations against him, but he kept saying he didn’t want to be involved in anything like this, and didn’t understand the detectives were there to allow him the opportunity to share his side of the investigation.
There was also a report in 2018 involving the Platte County Sheriff’s Office concerning information from a Missouri Department of Social Services investigator concerning Phillips and a sexual assault claim from a 16-year-old female.
The information concerned allegations of Phillips kissing the girl and attempting to come into her room in Parkville. The girl told him to get out.
