A former Trenton Police officer has been charged with second degree statutory rape and has been terminated from his position.
According to online court records, Michael D. Wilson, 25, is facing the class D felony of second degree statutory rape after admitting to an investigator with the Missouri State Highway Patrol that he had sexual intercourse with a female who was 15 years of age at that time. The incident that led to the charge occurred on or about Sept. 3, according to the probable cause statement, and involved both vaginal and oral intercourse. The minor, who is now 16, told investigators of the incident on Dec. 8. Wilson admitted that day that the incident had occurred and that he knew that she was underage. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 22.
Trenton Police Chief Rex Ross issued a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that based on recent events and information gathered, Wilson has been terminated from his position effective immediately. He has been with the TPD since July 2018.
