Arraignment is coming next month in a Wabaunsee County case allegedly involving a North Carolina man traveling to Lake Wabaunsee to meet with an underage person for illegal purposes.
Derrick Mayfield allegedly flew from North Carolina to meet with a Wabaunsee County resident between ages 14-16 on Halloween after allegedly contacting the girl online. After deputies say they found evidence at the scene of potentially illegal activity, the County Attorney’s Office formally charged Mayfield with three counts of aggravated indecent liberties and one count of sexual exploitation.
Mayfield waived his preliminary hearing earlier this month. The arraignment hearing, which typically results in potential trial dates, will be at 11 am Jan. 17.
