WICHITA, Kansas - Charges have been dropped in Wichita against a former Cloud Elementary Assistant Principal accused of sex crimes against a six year old.
Robert Baker was arrested in February and charged with one count of indecent liberties with a child and one count rape. Court documents said the victim was a six year old, and that the alleged crime happened at Cloud Elementary.
Baker's attorney Dan Monnat said the state realized the evidence did not show a crime occurred, causing the district attorney to drop the charges.
"When a child makes an accusation of abuse, it must be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly," Baker's attorney Dan Monnat said. "He's, appreciative here that follow-up investigations made the state realize what he has maintained all along...that he is innocent of any wrongdoing."
Baker has since retired from the school district.
