Hiawatha man found competent to stand trial

(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man facing a pair of child sex charges has been found competent to stand trial.

31-year-old Robert Alan Edwardson is charged with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

According to the criminal complaint, the charges involve two separate victims—a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old.

Edwardson was arrested in February of last year following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.

The case was placed on hold after a motion was granted for a competency evaluation.

A preliminary hearing has now be set for Wednesday, March 18.

Edwardson remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $75,000 bond.
