Douglas County District Judge Kay Huff on Tuesday granted an “own recognizance” bond for a 29-year-old Lawrence man charged with two counts of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.

Prosecutors say the man tried to entice or solicit two 9 year olds to perform sexual acts in November. With the OR bond, he did not have to pay to be released, but promised to comply with all bond conditions and appear for all court hearings. If the man doesn’t comply, he could be arrested again and would have to pay $25,000 to be released.

The man had been in jail since his Nov. 24 arrest. Douglas County District Court Judge Pro Tem James George set a $60,000 at the man’s first appearance shortly after that arrest.

Huff agreed to an OR bond after reviewing the results of a mental health evaluation conducted to assess the man’s competency. Huff said she granted the bond so that the man could apply for Medicaid and arrange to receive various services, including employment and therapeutic aid.

The man has 30 days to arrange those services and must check in with Huff on June 2. While out of jail, the man will be required to meet with a probation officer and wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet, which the district attorney’s office will pay for because the man is indigent.

Huff ordered the man to live with his mother in Ottawa during his release. He is banned from having any contact with individuals under the age of 18.

If convicted, the man could spend about 11 years in prison for each charge, depending on his criminal history.
