Man Pleads Guilty To Sexual Assault Charges

Edmonson Voice Staff Report:
A Mammoth Cave man has pleaded guilty to sexual assault charges during a trial last week that ended on Friday, December 7, 2018.

Jordan R. Sanders, (27), pleaded guilty to one count of sexual assault-first degree. He was also charged with first degree sodomy, but the charge was amended to another count of first degree sexual assault, to which he also pleaded guilty. 

Sanders was arrested by the Kentucky State Police on December 12, 2017 on felony sexual abuse charges that allegedly involved a juvenile.

The Commonwealth's Attorney's office has recommended a sentence of one year in jail for each count to run consecutively, for a total of two years in prison, according to court documents. 

Court documents also showed that the Commonwealth also recommended a sex offender registration with a conditional sex offender registry discharge period.

A sentencing date has been set for February 18, 2019, according to court records.
