Garfield Ross III was found guilty last week in Leavenworth County District Court of attempted rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child, and aggravated criminal sodomy, charges involving a child under the age of 14.
According to court documents cited in a release from the office of Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, the case stems from a July 22nd, 2025 incident that was reported to authorities the same day. Court records say Ross was arrested later that day and was subsequently charged.
Court documents also indicate investigators found DNA evidence on the child’s underwear that was consistent with Ross, or someone biologically related to him.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 18th, 2026.
