HUTCHINSON -A Kansas woman arrested last week on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child didn’t appear in court Wednesday as expected.

Attorney Stan Juhnke has filed his appearance as counsel for Britney Becker, 20, who is accused of lewd fondling or touching of a 13-year-old boy.

The court waived the reading of the formal charge and the case will now be scheduled as part of a waiver-status docket.

The suspect knew the victim, was friends with the family and that the encounters occurred twice in early November of last year, according to Hutchinson Police Detective Scott Carlton.

The boy apparently told his parents about the touching and they in turn called police, leading to the arrest.

Becker remains free on bond.
