A detainee in the Leavenworth County Jail was sentenced to 19 months in prison for falsely accusing a deputy of trading sex for a cell phone.

In a news release, County Attorney Todd Thompson said William Dickerson was sentenced for falsely reporting a crime of criminal sodomy.

Thompson says Dickerson was found will a cell phone in the county jail. When questioned about the phone, Dickerson claimed he was given permission by a deputy to keep the phone if he performed an oral sex act on the deputy.

The deputy denied the claim, and Thompson says video surveillance showed only incidental contact between the pair with no sexual activity.

Dickerson’s sentence includes 12 months of post-release supervision once he serves his prison sentence.
