The defense attorney for a former south-central Kansas high school football coach charged with child sex crimes is seeking to have the charges against his client dismissed.

The Wichita Eagle reports that defense attorney Dan Monnat filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Todd Puetz, who was charged last November with electronic solicitation, attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child and attempted criminal sodomy.

Prosecutors accuse Puetz of trying to entice a child he believed to be 15 into sex acts. Monnat has entered a not guilty plea for Puetz, who coached at Garden Plain.

The defense motion Thursday says an undercover detective entrapped Puetz and that he didn’t solicit anyone. He is scheduled to stand trial Aug. 6.
