Charles Licktieg Enters Not Guilty Plea In Case
LAGRANGE, Ky. -- A sex offender treatment supervisor for a Kentucky prison has been charged with indecent exposure.
Charles Lickteig II, 48, is now on administrative leave from the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in LaGrange.
According to court records, Lickteig had stopped his vehicle at Lime Kiln Lane and U.S. 42 when a woman pulled up beside him. She claimed Lickteig's genitals were exposed and he was masturbating. She also said Lickteig looked at her and he knew she saw him.
Court records also said the woman later saw Lickteig at the same intersection and was able to get the license plate number to Lickteig's car and called police.
Licktieg was arrested on Oct. 14 and pleaded not guilty to second-degree indecent exposure.
Lickteig's attorney, Alex Dathorne, said Lickteig was also a police officer for eight years.
"So he's quite in tune with the seriousness of these allegations and also the embarrassment that goes with simply making the allegations," Dathorne said.
Dathorne said there may be a reasonable explanation for what is now a very serious charge.
"Sometimes, people who view things have a different perception as to perhaps what was actually occurring," said Dathorne.
Dathorne said his client was not sexually gratifying himself, but instead, Lickteig was trying to deal with a severe case of poison ivy.
"He's taking the charge, albeit a misdemeanor, extremely serious," Dathorne said.
His criminal case, more than a month after the incident, remains unresolved.
"If a resolution can be reached, then we will do so. If not, then it may be something we may very well have to resolve by way of a jury trial," Dathorne said.
A spokeswoman for the Kentucky Department of Corrections said Lickteig has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of his criminal case.
Lickteig has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Nov. 30 in Jefferson County District Court. No trial date has been set. ..Source.. by Andy Alcock/WLKY
