Sleeping sex crimes earn guilt from LV man

(KAIR)--Guilty of sexual battery. That's the finding of a Leavenworth County jury this week, following a Disrict Court trial that lasted less than one day, involving a Leavenworth man accused of committing the crime against a sleeping woman.

37-year-old Lance Thompson will learn his fate March 6, the date of his sentencing hearing in a Leavenworth County courtroom.

According to court documents cited in a release from the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office, Thompson's victim awoke in an upstairs bedroom to find him touching her without consent. The woman was able to escape from Thompson and involve her friend, who was downstairs in the house. That friend then confronted Thompson with a handgun, telling him to leave, and that police had been contacted. In response, Thompson provided his address and replied, ‘Fine… call the cops.”
