(KNZA)--A Highland man has pleaded no contest to a charge of indecent liberties with a child, canceling a jury trial that had been set for next week in Doniphan County District Court.

20-year-old Kyle Hoffman is accused of the lewd fondling of a child under the age of 16 last July.

He was charged following an investigation by the Highland Police Department.

Sentencing is scheduled for February 5.

Hoffman remains in the Doniphan County Jail, held on a $125,000 bond.
