(KAIR)--A 70-year-old man will spend more than ten years in prison following a child sex crimes case in Atchison County.
Carlos Rondon was sentenced January 2nd to just over 10 years in the Kansas Department of Corrections after pleading no contest to three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, involving three separate victims.
Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker says the case was investigated by the Atchison Police Department and remained active through late 2025. The investigation began when two children came forward and reported inappropriate touching by Rondon. As the case moved toward a jury trial, a third child reported similar conduct.
Becker says investigators also identified two additional victims from the early 1990s, who testified in open court that Rondon had touched them inappropriately when they were children.
The County Attorney’s Office had filed a motion seeking to allow the jury to hear testimony from all five victims, but before the court ruled, Rondon entered a plea agreement. Becker says the agreement was reached after considering several factors, including the impact on the victims and their families.
In addition to the prison sentence, Rondon was ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
