Sex crimes sentence sends man to prison

(KAIR)--A Leavenworth County resident will spend 3-years-8-months in prison, after receiving concurrent sentences for attempted sexual battery.

Douglas County District Attorney Suzanne Valdez, in a release, says that 44-year-old Warren Jones, of Linwood, was sentenced to 31 months in prison for attempted aggravated sexual battery of an elderly Eudora woman with dementia. District Court Judge Amy Hanley also sentenced Jones to 13 months in prison for a second attempted aggravated sexual battery count in the same case. Jones will serve both sentences concurrently in the Kansas Department of Corrections. He is subject to 12 months post-release and must register as a sex offender for 25-years.

Jones pleaded no contest to the two counts in May. Charges stem from an incident on the morning of December 27, 2021. The elderly woman allowed Jones to enter her home, and Jones attempted to engage in sexual contact with the woman before leaving. Authorities used security camera footage to identify Jones. Jones, the victim, and the victim- family utilized the District Attorney- Office- Independent Assessment Conference (IAC). The IAC is a voluntary program overseen by a retired judge. The typical court process is condensed using the assistance of an experienced mediator trained in trauma-informed practice. A fundamental aspect of the IAC is the empowerment of victims through their engagement in the process.
