DOUGLAS, Wyo. (AP) — A 22-year-old Casper man faces charges of sexual abuse of a minor, kidnapping and larceny in the abduction of a Glenrock girl from her bedroom last month.

Converse County Attorney Quentin Richardson stated Friday that defendant Robert J. Parks waived a preliminary hearing on the charges.

Parks next faces arraignment in district court.

Richardson said he will ask District Judge John Brooks to keep the case file sealed to protect the girl's identity.

Authorities issued an Amber Alert after the girl was discovered missing sometime after 3 a.m. on May 19. She was found alive early that afternoon in an abandoned Jeep that had been reported stolen.

Defense attorney William Disney represents Parks. His office said Friday he had no comment.
