Wichita man sentenced for sexual assault

A man has been sentenced to prison after sexually assaulting two runaway girls. District Judge Dave Dahl sentenced Donald Baker, 57 of Wichita, to 274 months in prison.

On May 22nd, 2020, Baker picked up two 14-year-old girls who had run away from a state placement facility in north Wichita. Baker told the girls he would take care of them and purchased drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. The girls were later sexually assaulted by Baker at his home.

A bench trial was held before Judge Dahl on December 22. The Judge found Baker guilty of two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, criminal sodomy, and providing alcohol to a minor.

Along with Baker’s prison sentence last Friday, Judge Dahl ordered lifetime post release and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
