Ex-deputy pleads guilty to child rape; Howard Banks admits having sex with 13-year-old girl
2004
Overview
A former Whitman County sheriff's deputy pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of second-degree child rape for encounters he had with a 13-year-old Malden girl. To reach a plea agreement in the case, the prosecution dropped a third charge of rape involving the same victim. The victim's family wanted to avoid a trial and the trauma of a public vetting of the crimes, said Senior Deputy Prosecutor Carol Laverne. The prosecution also agreed not to charge Banks with any other crimes it might be aware of in connection with this case. In her statement to the court, Laverne asked that Banks be relocated to another jail, saying that his incarceration in Whitman County is difficult for his former co-workers. Because Banks knows the jail and has had prior contact with some of the current inmates, he has been kept in isolation. That too is a problem for the jail, which could use the limited isolation space for other inmates, said Laverne.
