(KNZA)--An August 17th jury trial has been set for an Atchison man facing sixteen child sex-related charges in Doniphan County. 

41-year-old Heath Umphenhour pleaded “ not guilty” Wednesday in Doniphan County District Court to the charges.

He’s charged with multiple counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, sexual exploitation of a child, aggravated criminal sodomy and attempted breach of privacy of a child or children. 

Authorities say the charges stem from alleged sexual offenses involving three girls under the age of 14 occurring between March 11th, 2011 and November 6th, 2013.

Umphenhour was arrested last July following an investigation by the Doniphan County Sheriff’s Department and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.

He remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on $500,000 bond.
