A Lawrence man has been charged in Douglas County District Court with a sex crime against a teenage girl for an incident that allegedly occurred just months after he was granted probation in connection with other child sex crimes.
The man, Quortez Eugene Longfellow-Coleman, 21, faces one felony count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child for intercourse with a girl between the ages of 14 and 16, according to charging documents. The incident is alleged to have occurred in May of 2021.
Longfellow-Coleman was arrested in connection with the charge on Dec. 16. He is being held on a $15,000 cash or surety bond and is next scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 28 for a status conference.
According to Douglas County court records, Longfellow-Coleman was convicted in December of 2020 in connection with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of lewd and lascivious behavior, stemming from two cases that were filed in 2018 when he was a juvenile. He was sentenced in February of 2021 to nine months of intensive supervised probation and was ordered to follow any recommendations that resulted from clinical assessments and a psychosexual evaluation.
