SOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls man is charged with kidnapping and sexually exploiting a 13-year-old boy.
Authorities say 65-year-old Robert Larson, a registered sex offender, is being held without bond following a court appearance Monday. Court documents say was reported missing Nov. 27 and stopped at a Sioux Falls gas station where Larson was working. Prosecutors say Larson wouldn’t let the boy leave, later locked him in his van and then took him to his house. The boy told police Larson groped him.
The Argus Leader says Larson has denied having sexual contact with the child and told police he felt it was unsafe for the boy to leave the gas station late at night.
