HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 40-year-old man facing three cases may have his trial continued after the defense noted that some of the items they’re requesting may take some time to receive.

Richard Andrew Petty faces charges for breach of privacy in disseminating sexual media of a person 18 or older and blackmail for videotapes and photos of a person.

The state alleges the blackmail charge occurred Sept. 1, and Sept. 14, 2018. Petty tried to persuade a person against her will by threatening to disseminate pictures or videotape.

The breach of privacy charge occurred Sept. 13, when he released photos or videos of the victim in a sexual act.

Petty was arrested on warrant after an investigation by the Hutchinson Police Department.

Petty has another case where a stalking charge was filed.

His attorney is requesting photos and any text messages between the victim and former Hutchinson Police Detective Jamie Schoenhoff, but the state in response says that police do not have any text between the two and that any pictures they received have been given to the defense.

Reno County District Judge Trish Rose set a status hearing later this month on this issue.
