HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man convicted on a charge of criminal threat was bound over for trial Monday in a child sex case.
Kenneth Broadfoot is charged with criminal sodomy involving a 15-year-old girl. The state alleges in the complaint that he engaged in sexual activity with the girl back on Sept. 12, 2015. The crime apparently occurred on the Kansas State Fairgrounds in a building the victim described as a temporary building. She also admitted that the sexual contact was consensual, however under Kansas law, it’s still unlawful for him to have any sexual contact with a child that age.
The charge against Broadfoot is a level three person felony with a minimum sentence of four years and seven months in prison. He’ll be arraigned on the new case early next month.
In the old case, he was originally charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon where he threatened another man with a handgun. That occurred on Sept. 26, 2015. But the state, as part of a plea agreement, let him plead to criminal threat. He’s scheduled to be sentenced on that charge on Friday by Judge Tim Chambers.
