A 44-year-old Leavenworth man was found guilty after pleading no contest to a charge of sexual battery in Leavenworth County District Court.

Cleo Williams Jr. was found guilty Friday, according to a release from the office Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson. According to court records, the charge stemmed from a Dec. 14, 2024, incident at a Leavenworth apartment complex after police responded to a domestic disturbance. While officers were arresting Williams, he kissed an officer’s neck, leading to the charge of sexual battery.

“Our officers work hard, and we respect and appreciate the services they provide. However, any form of inappropriate physical contact, including kissing, is unacceptable,” Thompson said.

Sentencing is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sept. 26, 2025 in Leavenworth County District Court.
