HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 55-year-old man who managed to post bond in a case where he’s charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy was taken to jail Wednesday afternoon on warrants for failing to register as a sex offender.

Richard Dean McHenry was in court for a waiver-status docket and the case was continued until Aug. 24, but deputies were waiting to serve the warrant for his arrest. He was taken to jail for failure to register at least a couple of times, according to Sheriff Capt. Steve Lutz. So, that means he will again have to post a bond.

The victim in the sodomy case says the relationship between the two started back in 2009 when she was 16, but changed over time. His demeanor toward her also changed. The victim alleges the sexual encounters occurred in December of last year and April of this year and were forced.

She says, during the last encounter, she came to his home to get some of her belongings and, during that encounter, she was kicked and then sexually assaulted.

If he’s convicted of the sodomy charges, he would be considered a persistent sex offender, meaning he could get double the sentence.

McHenry has a prior conviction for aggravated criminal sodomy for a case from 2000 out of Jefferson County and is required to register as a sex offender, but again has failed to do so.

The sodomy case has been continued to Aug. 24. He should make an appearance on the new charges in the next week or so.
