HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local woman arrested last week on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child didn’t appear in court Wednesday as expected.
Apparently, local attorney Stan Juhnke has filed his appearance as counsel for Britney Becker who is accused of lewd fondling or touching of a 13-year-old boy. That means that they waived the reading of the formal charge and the case will now be scheduled as part of a waiver-status docket.
Hutchinson Police Detective Scott Carlton says she knew the victim, was apparently friends with the family and that the encounters occurred twice in early November of last year.
The boy apparently told his parents about the touching and they in turn called police, leading to the arrest.
Becker is free on bond.
