HCF inmate enters plea to attempted rape

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

Tanner Green is now guilty of trying to rape a female officer, 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.

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 will be sentenced Nov. 1.
