HUTCHINSON— A Kansas man bound over for trial in a child sex case for a second time was arraigned Monday in Reno County.
Kenneth Broadfoot, 25, Hutchinson, entered a “not guilty” plea to criminal sodomy involving a 15-year-old girl.
The state alleges that he engaged in sexual activity with the girl back on Sept. 12, 2015. The crime apparently occurred on the Kansas State Fairgrounds. Even though the sexual contact was consensual, under Kansas law, it’s unlawful for him to have any sexual contact with a child that age.
Judge Tim Chambers had ordered a new hearing over controversy surrounding the alleged victim making a video where she stated that nothing happened. She has since admitted what she said on the video was untrue. She admits to being friends with the defendant and didn’t want to get him into trouble.
Broadfoot is free on bond and his case will once again move to a possible trial.
