June 27, 2026

Fox 2 News – A St. Louis man was sentenced to decades behind bars on Friday after he admitted to sexually assaulting two men he met through dating apps.


On Friday, a St. Louis Circuit Court judge sentenced Arthur Kinnard Jr., 37, to 20 years in prison.


Investigators say Kinnard targeted men through social media dating applications, sexually assaulted them and robbed them at a home in St. Louis’ Lindenwood Park neighborhood.


Charges allege that Kinnard met a 35-year-old man in December 2023, and a 23-year-old man in January 2024 after communicating with both through social media apps. Investigators say both victims raised objections. Kinnard reportedly demanded money from one victim, and stole a necklace and money from the other victim.
