A former Kansas police officer was arrested and charged Wednesday in a string of sex crimes that allegedly unfolded over the span of at least six years during his time with the Hutchinson Police Department, authorities said.
Todd Allen, 51, of Hutchinson, faces two counts of rape, three counts of attempted rape, one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, two counts of kidnapping, seven counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of sexual battery, two counts of attempted aggravated sexual battery and five counts of breach of privacy and eavesdropping, the Hutchinson Police Department said.
Allen was being held at the Reno County Correctional Facility as of Wednesday, police said. It was not immediately clear if Allen had an attorney. He was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday morning.
Most of the accusations against the former police officer concern incidents alleged to have happened between 2012 and 2018, Hutchinson Police Department Chief Jeff Hooper said during a news conference Wednesday.
Describing Allen as a "predator," Hooper said that at least 17 cases the department had been investigating were cleared with the former police officer's arrest.
