Wichita Police Department (WPD) Officer Joshua Hageman has been charged with two counts of indecent liberties with a child by the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.  The charges stem from the recent investigation of an incident that occurred approximately seven years ago and before Hageman was employed with WPD.

Hageman has been placed on administrative leave without pay.


WPD officials recently learned of a 2012 incident involving Hageman, 20-years-old at the time,  inappropriately touching two fifteen-year-old girls while at a home in Colwich, KS.  The incident was investigated and presented to the DA's Office, leading to the charges. 

WPD officials requested the investigation involve the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office, as part of a collaborative agreement to ensure transparency and avoid conflicts of interest.

Hageman has been employed as a WPD police officer for three years.
