HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After some delay, a Reno County man who entered guilty pleas to numerous sexual exploitation charges is scheduled for sentencing Wednesday in Reno County District Court.

Patrick White entered pleas to four counts of sexual exploitation of a child. As part of the plea, a fifth count was dismissed.

White was arrested after deputies with the Reno County Sheriff's Department issued a search warrant on his home and cell phone. 

The warrant stemmed from the allegations from a separate law enforcement agency that was made aware of White’s ongoing suspicious activity. The crimes are said to have occurred between October of 2018 and February of 2020. 

Sentencing will be before Judge Joe McCarville.
