With a new victim alleging more past sexual atrocities against the children of the Mohler family, 15 more counts came today against five of the six men already named.

Lafayette County authorities last week accused six Mohler men of 16 counts, alleging a torrent of rape, sodomy and bestiality against children barely in elementary school.

Burrell Mohler Sr. and his four sons are accused of participating in the decade-long abuse that reportedly included “mock weddings” in which girls as young as 5 were matched with grown men.

The men are due in court for a formal arraignment on the earlier charges at 11 a.m. Tuesday in Lexington.

The new charges are against Burrell E. Mohler Jr., 53, Jared Mohler, 48, Roland Mohler, 47, and David Mohler, 52, and their father, 77. All five defendants were arrested last week and remain jailed in Lexington.

The latest victim allegedly told investigators that when she was 6, David Mohler raped her on the ground in a chicken coop. She also said that when she was 7, she and her sister were in bed when Burrell Mohler Jr. entered the room. When she called him by name, he allegedly told them he wasn’t that person but “the bad twin.” Then he allegedly raped them both.

On yet another occasion, she said Jared Mohler put her on his lap and began to rock back and forth with her. When Burrell Mohler Sr. passed the open doorway, he looked inside and allegedly said, “That’s my boy.”

With that encouragement, Jared then raped her, court documents stated.

Burrell Mohler Sr.’s brother, Darrel Mohler, of Florida, is also charged in the investigation that authorities says is producing alleged victims all over the country and continent.

Darrel Mohler initially said he would fight extradition to Missouri, but officials said late today he had changed his mind. He is scheduled to appear before a Florida judge at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Mohlers Buried Baby On Farm, 6th Victim Says

Prosecutor Continues To File Charges Against Family

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Evidence from search warrants released Monday detailed new allegations about what happened on the Mohler family’s Bates City-area farm.Investigators dug for evidence for three days last week on the farm where Burrell Mohler Sr. and his sons lived back in the 1980s and into the mid ’90s.

According to a sworn affidavit, investigators said a sixth victim has come forward after hearing the news of the allegations against the Mohlers.The woman claims the Mohlers locked her in the basement and raped her back in 1988. She said she became pregnant twice and, “Following the delivery of the first baby, Burrell E. Mohler Sr. and Burrell E. Mohler Jr. buried the infant in the basement.”

The affidavit said the basement floor was dirt when the baby was buried, but was paved shortly thereafter. The witness said the baby was buried in a box underneath the only window in the basement. A searcher using radar located an anomaly “consistent with the shape of a box” buried approximately 12 inches below the concrete.

There is no word on who this person is or her relationship to the Mohlers. The other five victims have said that they knew about the woman, but had no idea who she was.As the Lafayette County prosecutor looks over new evidence, she went ahead and filed new charges against Burrell Mohler Sr. and his four sons. The Mohlers are already facing charges for allegedly raping two children. The new charges identify a third victim.The prosecutor indicated that she expects additional charges to be file in the case. Investigators continue to process evidence retrieved from the Bates City farm.
