MARION COUNTY — The Marion County State’s Attorney’s Office filed 10 additional charges Tuesday against a 37-year-old St. Louis, Missouri man already facing charges for kidnapping, sexual abuse, and sexual assault.

Courtney Buffkins is now also facing seven Class 2 felony child pornography charges and three Class X felony charges of aggravated criminal sexual assault.

The 10 new charges were added Tuesday to the Class X felony charge of kidnapping, four Class 2 felony aggravated criminal sexual abuse and Class 3 aggravated battery charges filed in 2021.

Buffkins was initially arrested in 2021 on a felony obstruction of justice charge for allegedly providing Salem police with a false name when they reportedly found him with the girl in a Salem hotel room.

After the girl agreed to talk to police, Buffkins was charged in a separate case with six original charges in the case that allegedly stem from five different visits to Salem that began in February 2020.

Buffkins pleaded guilty earlier this year to a misdemeanor charge of obstructing identity in the first case, in exchange for the felony charge being dismissed.

Buffkins pleaded guilty last year to Class 4 felony criminal sexual abuse in Cumberland County, Illinois, and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

He’s also facing felony charges in Coles County, Illinois, for Class 1 criminal sexual assault and two counts Class 2 felony aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a juvenile victim 5 years or more younger than him. That case is scheduled for a September status hearing.

The remaining Marion County case with its 10 new charges is scheduled for a pretrial hearing at the end of this month.
