HCC Basketball Player Arrested For Sexual Exploitation Pleads “Not Guilty”

Jasmine Patterson 2

A woman who played for basketball for Hutchinson Community College and arrested on a charge of sexual exploitation of a child was arraigned Monday where she entered a “not guilty” plea.

Jasmine L. Patterson is accused of downloading child pornography in her dorm room. The crime allegedly occurred on April 19 of 2011.

The Kansas Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force reported spotting child pornography being downloaded from a file-sharing network which led to the investigation by Hutchinson Police. Police executed a search warrant and she allegedly possessed sexually explicit photos of children under the age of 18.

She entered the plea in front of Judge Trish Rose and unless a plea agreement is reached will face a jury on the charge.
