Mr. Mankey, 62 years of age, pleaded guilty to three separate counts of the felony of sodomy in the first degree for events that occurred between November 1, 2020, and June 24, 2021.
Barton County Sheriff’s Office investigated a complaint that Mankey was inappropriately touching a female child who was less than 12 years old. The investigation revealed that the crimes occurred at a residence in rural Barton County.
Also on March 22, 2023, Judge David Munton sentenced Mankey on all 3 counts to life imprisonment without eligibility for probation or parole until he has served not less than thirty years of the sentence, or when the defendant reaches age 75, and has served at least 15 years.
Mankey is being held in a county jail awaiting transportation to the Department of Corrections.
