Judge takes suppression request in sexual assault case under advisement

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A local man charged with rape and aggravated criminal sodomy from August of last year would like his confession suppressed.

Nathan Allen Crum is accused of sexually assaulting a local woman while they watched a movie at his home. Crum admitted they had sex, but claims it was consensual. The alleged crimes occurred Aug. 17.

After an evidentiary hearing this week, Reno County District Judge Tim Chambers took the motion under advisement, saying he wants to watch a video before making a decision. He’s expected to make that ruling Monday.

Crum also wanted a new attorney, but it doesn’t appear that will happen, according to Reno County District Attorney Keith Schroeder.

The trial is scheduled to begin next week.
