Production note: This article is built from the Harvey County Detention Center's own booking record, the only source cited. The statute citations for both charges (K.S.A. 21-5506 and K.S.A. 21-5413) are as published by that source and independently verified against the Kansas Statutes. Case-document research (court dockets, filings) was not attempted for this article because that research pipeline is currently paused; this is not a statement that no such records exist. No independent news coverage was found or reviewed.
Damien John Lyman, 19, was booked at the Harvey County Detention Center on Aug. 16, 2026, according to the county's own booking record. The record lists two charges: indecent liberties with a child, K.S.A. 21-5506 (unknown circumstance, held on no bond), and battery, K.S.A. 21-5413 (bond set at $5,000).
The booking record does not describe the circumstances of either alleged offense, and no additional case documents, court filings, or independent reporting were reviewed for this article. Law enforcement has not released further detail beyond what the jail's own record shows.
A booking record describes an allegation, not a finding of guilt. Lyman is presumed innocent unless and until proven otherwise in court, and no disposition is currently recorded for either charge.
