(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Hiawatha teenager accused of the rape of a 13-year-old girl has been pushed back again.

The hearing for 19-year-old Nicholas Miller was postponed Wednesday to July 11th at the request of his attorney.   

During the preliminary hearing, a judge will determined if there is sufficient evidence for Miller to be bound over for trial.

A judge in November found Miller competent to stand trial based on an evaluation conducted by KANZA Mental Health.  The judge in August granted a motion by Miller’s attorney for the competency evaluation.

He was arrested in June following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.

Miller remains in the Brown County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
