The sheriff said Palmer will be extradited back to Missouri as soon as possible to face the charges.

The charges stem from an investigation that started in August 2014 after a hotline call to Missouri Department of Social Services Children’s Division was made concerning several alleged incidents that occurred between December 2012 and June 2013 when a child was staying at Palmer’s residence. The Missouri State Technical Assistance Team and the Clinton Police Department assisted the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office with the investigation.

In September 2015 Palmer was out of jail on bond and cut off his court ordered electronic GPS ankle bracelet.
