Nicholas Miller
(KNZA)--A Hiawatha teen charged with rape has been ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Brown County District Judge Jim Patton granted a motion Friday filed by the court-appointed attorney for 18-year-old Nicholas Miller for the evaluation, which is to be conducted by Kanza Mental Health.
If further evaluation is needed, Miller will be sent to the Larned State Hospital.
A preliminary hearing for Miller, which had been scheduled for last week, was stayed pending the outcome of the evaluation.
He is accused of having sexual intercourse with a13-year-old girl.
Miller was arrested in June following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department and remains in the Brown County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
