(KAIR)--A Leavenworth County jury, this week, found a 53-year-old Leavenworth man guilty of his crimes, including a sexual attack on a child.
According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, the jury found Robert Earl Hagar III guilty Tuesday of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, aggravated burglary, and possession of marijuana.
Sentencing for Hagar is set for May 5.
The release explains that Hagar's arrest happened June 24 of last year, "when Leavenworth police officers were dispatched to an apartment complex near downtown Leavenworth in reference to a man with a knife who touched a child inappropriately," with officers establishing a perimeter prior to arresting Hagar.
According to court documents cited in the release, the victim, a child under the age of 14 who was spending the night at a family friend's apartment, answered a knock at the door. When the door was opened, a man, later identified as Hagar, entered the apartment with a knife, kissed the victim on her lips, and touched her inappropriately. The victim escaped Hagar and ran to another apartment for help, with an adult inside the apartment then finding Hagar and telling him to leave.
Hagar was arrested inside his apartment, which was located inside the same apartment complex.
