Barton Co. Court: Probation revoked for man charged with rape

Posted Nov 07, 2022 5:00 PM

Joseph McNett was back in Barton County District Court last Friday morning facing allegations that he had violated his probation.

McNett had been charged in Sedgwick County for rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.

The State presented evidence of those new crimes, as well as evidence of other probation violations. After the close of evidence, and the arguments of counsel, District Court Judge Carey Hipp found that McNett had violated his probation by committing new crimes, revoked his probation and ordered him to serve his underlying prison sentence of 49 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections.

The State of Kansas was represented by Assistant Barton County Attorney Colin Reynolds. The Defendant was represented by Donald E Anderson II.
