ST. LOUIS Earl Cox, the man accused of killing Angie Housman, pleaded guilty to molesting another girl.
On Friday, Cox pleaded guilty to four counts of sodomy with a victim less than 14 years old. It was an Alford plea, which means he admitted the state had enough evidence to prove him guilty.
These are Class B felonies, with a range of 5-15 years in prison. Cox was sentenced to 10 years in prison concurrent on all counts and concurrent to a life without parole sentence he is serving from St. Charles County.

Webster Groves, Missouri (KMOV) No charges will be filed against the Webster Groves police officer who fatally shot a man on the interstate in May.
Dash cam video of a shooting involving a Webster Groves police officer on I-44 in May was released Monday.
The entire incident was captured on the officer’s dashcam, which showed an officer pull over to check on a car that was stopped in the left lane of Interstate 44 near Elm around 8:30 p.m. on May 5, 2020. When the officer approached the car, he had his flashlight in his hand and his gun holstered at his side. According to authorities, the man inside the car, Qavon Webb, opened his car door and began shooting at the officer almost immediately.

The St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office wrapped up its investigation Wednesday and concluded the officer’s use of lethal force against Qavon Webb was justified and likely saved his own life.
“The officer’s use of lethal force was fully justified,” said St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell. “In fact, his use of force – and the protective gear that blocked a gunshot to his chest – saved his own life. We are thankful that the officer reacted quickly, and that his life was spared.”
