A Manhattan man charged with 22 counts of child sex crimes made his first court appearance for the case on Wednesday afternoon in Riley County District Court.
Kevin Kendre Brown, 43, faces charges including 10 counts of rape of a child, 11 counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of aggravated sexual battery. Court documents state Brown allegedly began committing the crimes in 2016 and continued through 2025.
All 22 charges are against the same victim, a girl born in 2009. Due to the girl’s age at the time of the offenses, 14 of the counts are classified as Jessica’s Law cases, which would result in lifetime sentences if Brown is convicted.
