WICHITA — A man was sentenced to life in prison Monday for having sexual relations with an underage Wichita girl.
District Judge Kevin O’Connor sentenced Breyon Mukes, 27 of Wichita, to life on one count of attempted aggravated criminal sodomy and nine months for criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney.
The sentences will run concurrently. Mukes will be eligible for parole after 25 years.
The crimes occurred in September 2014 in Wichita. A jury found Mukes guilty in 2016, but the convictions were overturned on appeal by the Kansas Court of Appeals in 2019.
A new trial was ordered and in February of this year, Mukes was found guilty of the attempt sodomy charge. At the sentencing hearing last Friday, Judge O’Connor ruled Mukes will have to finish his sentence for attempted aggravated robbery in an unrelated 2012 case before he can begin to serve his life sentence in this matter.
