KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — Former Prosser Mayor Linda Lusk pleaded not guilty Thursday in a Benton County court to a charge of child molestation.
KNDU-TV reports she was released without bail. Her next court appearance is set for July 15.
Prosecutors say she had sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy on April 28 at her house.
The 49-year-old Lusk served one term as Prosser’s mayor and lost a re-election bid in 2007.
