Jury trial set in Hiawatha child sex case

(KNZA)--A jury trial has been set for a Hiawatha woman facing a pair of child sex charges.

Teaini Simmons pleaded not guilty Monday in Brown County District Court to charges of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

A three-day jury trial was set, beginning September 11.

A judge found Simmons competent to stand trial following a hearing in December based on an evaluation conducted by KANZA Mental Health.

She was arrested in May of last year following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.

The investigation was launched after the Department received a report from a concerned citizen that Simmons was romantically involved with a child under the age of 14.

She remains free on a $100,000 bond.
