A one-time Chase County Jail employee was sentenced to probation during a hearing Monday afternoon.
Maudi McCorgary received two-years probation after reaching a plea agreement in an illegal sexual contact case from earlier this year. Originally, McCorgary was charged with unlawful sexual relations with an inmate and trafficking contraband into the Chase County Jail after an investigation determined over 300 phone calls between McCorgary and a Sedgwick County inmate, with some indicating sexual contact and others indicating contraband like vodka, tobacco and methamphetamine being brought into the jail.
In July, McCorgary pleaded no contest to one count of attempted unlawful sexual activity. Other charges were dropped. McCorgary was part of the jail staff from August 2018 to early February. She was arrested in May.
McCorgary’s sentence carries an underlying 12-month prison term, meaning any probation violations could send McCorgary to jail for a year.
