Story here. Excerpt:

'A Wymore man wrongfully accused of sexual assault is asking for a jury trial to assess damages done by Gage County and several sheriff’s deputies.

Elliot Hawkins filed the suit in Gage County District Court on Wednesday, the same day Jennifer Valenta was sentenced to 32 to 60 months in prison for attempted prostitution, false reporting and tampering with evidence.

The suit names Deputy Brandon Schley, Investigator John Chavez, Investigator Rob Sandersfeld and Sgt. Tony Shepardson for their role in the “conscious-shocking reckless investigation” that Hawkins claims violated his constitutional right to due process.'
