New details are coming to light in the discovery of ex-Franklin County constable Thomas Banta’s case file.
Frankfort newspaper, The State Journal, released details from the discovery Wednesday that shed light on the types of activities that were said to have been occurring.
A woman allegedly employed by Banta told investigators that she was lured in by his clientele, which is said to have included legislators and police officers. In an earlier release, one woman testified she had sex with a man at the Capitol Plaza Hotel and then later saw him on television.

The names of the alleged clients and women have been redacted from the discovery to protect their privacy.
This same woman said she witnessed various women visit Banta’s office for what she believed to be prostitution purposes including “KSU students who rode the bus there and a young girl who was a student at Western Hills High School.” However, court records note that a records check at WHHS did not show any record of co-op students working at Banta Security and Investigations.
The woman also testified that part of the caveat of the agreement between the sex workers and Banta was that he was allowed to have sex with them free of charge whenever he desired.
