HUTCHINSON, Kan. – An 18-year-old Hutchinson man appeared via video from the Reno County Correctional Facility before Magistrate Judge Cheryl Allen for the reading of the one charge against him.
Guillermo J. Guzman is charged with one count of unlawful voluntary sexual relations for a sexual encounter with a 14 year old. The alleged crime occurred sometime around July 18 or July 19 of this year in Hutchinson. Because the child is 14 and the defendant is 18, it’s unlawful under state law for them to have sexual relations, even though it apparently was consensual.
Bond in the case was set at $5,000 and Judge Allen declined to reduce it at this point. She did schedule the case as part of a waiver-status docket for Dec. 30.
