Butte County, CA – On Wednesday, April 2, a man from Concow was arraigned in court for the rape of a neighbor girl who was nine years old. According to the Butte County District Attorney’s Office (BCDA), the man was charged with one additional case of child molestation while he was in court.

Jeffrey Funkhouser, who is 57 years old, was first charged with sexual intercourse with a kid under the age of ten as well as child molestation upon his initial arrest.

The Butte County Sheriff’s Office conducted additional investigations, which found that Funkhouser had previously preyed on a minor child prior to the sexual assault that he committed against a nine-year-old. The British Columbia District Attorney’s Office reports that in 2013, he committed child molestation against a different victim.

During the course of the inquiry, the earlier victim, who is now an adult, was contacted and confirmed that Funkhouser had sexually assaulted her when she was of the age 13. At the time of the assault, she was staying at the residence of Funkhouser with a friend, where she was engaged in a sleepover with the buddy.

At this time, Funkhouser is still being held at the Butte County Jail, and his next scheduled court appearance is scheduled for April 16, 2025.
