Guilty Plea In Amended Sodomy Case
KENTUCKY...
A Perry County man indicted on charges that he sodomized a teenager at gunpoint in 2009 has pleaded guilty to a lesser crime. Victor Looney, 39, of Hazard, was originally indicted in May of 2009 on one count each of kidnapping and first-degree sodomy. According to authorities at the time, Looney held the juvenile at gunpoint inside his apartment on Baker Avenue and forced him to perform sexual acts. Authorities noted that through information gathered during an investigation they were able to obtain a search warrant for Looney’s apartment where they discovered a shotgun hidden in the ceiling tile matching the description of the gun that was allegedly used against the victim. But during an appearance in Perry Circuit Court on February 11, Looney entered a guilty plea on an amended charge of third-degree unlawful transaction with a minor, a Class A misdemeanor.
