( KNZA )--A jury trial is averted after a northwest Missouri man enters into a plea agreement in a Doniphan County child sex case.
According to the Kansas Chief, 27-year-old Michael Lee Thompson of Clarksdale pleaded guilty last week in Doniphan County District Court to a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child less than 14 years of age.
In exchange for the plea, a charge of aggravated endangerment of a child was dismissed.
Sentencing is set for next month.
A jury trial in the case had been set for this week.
Thompson, formerly of Elwood, was arrested in April following an investigation by the Elwood Police Department and Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
