HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 24-year-old man entered a plea to a lesser charge of aggravated battery Monday afternoon in Reno County District Court.

Matthew Ledin was originally charged with sexual battery after his arrest for fondling a woman he met on an internet dating site.

The two apparently got together and watched a movie and that’s when things apparently went too far. He was initially arrested on a charge of rape, but the state filed the lesser charge of sexual battery.

Sentencing in the case is set for July 17^th.
