(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man will learn his fate next month, following his Leavenworth County conviction related to child sex abuse.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, 67-year-old Marshall Weidman entered a no contest plea to one count of rape in Leavenworth County District Court.
His sentencing is set for July 21.
According to the release, Thompson’s office filed charges against Weidman after “a child disclosed that Weidman would take her” to the basement of her relative’s home, where Weidman lived at the time, and touch her inappropriately.
According to Thompson, the child said it “happened multiple times over a period of years,” with the child also disclosing that Weidman “forced her to have sex with him in the basement.”
Weidman remains in the Leavenworth County Jail.
