Man sentenced in Leavenworth Co child sex case

(KAIR)--A Kansas City, Kansas man, convicted of child sex crimes in Leavenworth County, will spend more than a decade behind bars.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, in a release, said 64-year-old Gilberto Mendoza Jr. was sentenced Wednesday in Leavenworth County District Court to more than 11 years in prison on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Mendoza plead guilty to the charges last month. As part of a plea deal, an additional count was dismissed.

Thompson said the unlawful acts occurred inside a home in rural Leavenworth County on April 26, 2024 while Mendoza was babysitting the victim.
