(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.
