The son of Wyandotte County Sheriff Leroy Green Jr. was arrested Monday on charges that he raped or lewdly fondled children under the age of 14.
Police had been looking for Leroy Green III, 35, of Kansas City, Kan., since Dec. 19, when he was charged with nine counts of rape and six counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, according to charges filed by Deputy District Attorney Sheryl Lidtke.
All of the counts accuse Green of engaging in lewd fondling or sexual intercourse with his victims.
Wyandotte County Jail administrator Jeff Fewell said the sheriff was aware of the charges against his son but had no comment.
The charges accuse Green of criminal acts that began in 2001 and continued until August.
District Attorney Jerome A. Gorman said Monday that Green is accused of victimizing several girls he knew.
The investigation into at least one of the charges dates to 2007, Gorman said.
According to information on the Wyandotte County Jail’s Web site, Green has been booked into the jail five times since 2002, but the charges were not listed. Each time, Green was released on his own recognizance.
Green was taken into custody without incident about 8 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Oakland Avenue, Kansas City, Kan., police said. Gorman said bond was set at $1 million.
