A Kingman man who asserts his innocence pleaded guilty to a sex offense to secure lesser punishment than if convicted at trial. Ghaige Hamby, 32, pleaded guilty to one sexual abuse charge while a second count was dismissed in the deal entered Oct. 4.
Defense attorney Justin Whittenton said Hamby has no prior legal history at all, not even a traffic ticket. And he said Hamby was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
