SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A state corrections officer accused of multiple rapes in Springfield pleaded not guilty to 15 felony counts in five attacks.
Citing online court records, The Springfield News-Leader reported that 46-year-old Bobbie McGhee appeared Friday morning. The charges filed Wednesday include multiple counts of rape, sodomy and burglary over an eight-year period ending Oct. 8. McGhee was suspended from his job.
His case was referred to the public defender's office.
