(KNZA)--A Fairview man facing multiple child sex charges waived his right to a preliminary hearing this week.

39-year-old Nathaniel Culver was bound over to Brown County District Court on two counts of rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and one count of attempted rape.

Arraignment was scheduled for September 20.

Culver is charged in connection with alleged sex offenses against two children who were ages 9 and 11 at the time.

He was arrested last September following an extensive investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department, with the assistance of investigators from the Kansas Department of Children and Families, the Brown County Sheriff's Office and the Kansas Highway Patrol.

All the felony charges against Culver are punishable by life in prison.

Culver remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $500,000 bond.
