(KNZA)-- A Holton man already convicted of raping two women and acquitted of sexually assaulting a teen won't face additional rape charges, but will stand trial in relation to explicit images of an underage girl that authorities found via his Facebook profile.
Following a preliminary hearing Thursday, the Topeka Capital Journal reports Jackson County District Judge Norbert Marek found there was sufficient evidence for 22-year-old Jacob Ewing to be bound over for trial on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Three additional counts were dismissed.
A jury trial was set, beginning November 15th.
At the request of special prosecutor Jacqie Spradling, Marek dismissed additional rape charges that Ewing had been scheduled to go on trial for in August.
Marek also denied a request by defense attorney Kathleen Ambrosio to have Ewing retried to try to overturn his convictions in June. A jury last month found Ewing guilty of raping and sodomizing two other women. Sentencing in that case was pushed back to September 1st.
Ewing also faces trial in October on charges of attempted rape and aggravated sexual battery stemming from an alleged 2015 incident.
