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

The hearing for 19-year-old Nicholas Miller was continued last week at the request of his attorney and rescheduled for May 2nd.

A judge in November found Miller competent to stand trial based on an evaluation conducted by Kanza Mental Health.

The judge in August had granted a motion filed by Miller’s attorney for the  competency evaluation.

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

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