Inmate sentenced to another 20 years in prison for attempted rape

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 42-year-old man serving time for numerous convictions  including murder, was sentenced Friday to roughly 20 years for a single charge of attempted rape in Reno County.

Tanner Green entered a plea in the case for trying to rape a female counselor only known as TK, at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility. The state had filed two other alternate charges, but Green entered the plea to attempted rape. The other charges were aggravated sexual battery and battery of a law enforcement officer. He apparently wanted to rape the counselor and imagine he was with his wife. The counselor was able to get help when she hit a panic button she had on her.

Green is serving time for aggravated battery for a case from 1999 in Reno County. Other convictions include first-degree murder in Sedgwick County for a case in 2000, aggravated battery and aggravated burglary in Ellis County in 1994 and aggravated escape from custody and aggravated assault in Leavenworth County in 2008.

Green told the judge that he’s a screw up, that’s the way it is.

The new sentence will run consecutive to the sentence currently being served.
