June 27, 2026

First Alert 4 – A St. Louis City man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday after pleading guilty to multiple charges in the sexual assault of two men.


A St. Louis City judge sentenced 37-year-old Arthur Kinnard Jr. to 20 years in prison. Kinnard had pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree sodomy, two counts of second-degree robbery, third-degree assault, and two counts of recklessly exposing another to an infectious disease.


In December 2023, prosecutors say Kinnard invited a 35-year-old man to his Lindenwood Park home after speaking with him through social media. The victim told investigators Kinnard had sexually assaulted him, and when the victim tried to resist, Kinnard threatened him with bear mace and demanded money.
