(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a Hiawatha woman facing a pair of child sex charges has been pushed back.
The hearing for 19-year-old Teaini Simmons was continued Wednesday to July 25th at the request of her attorney.
Following the preliminary hearing, a judge will determine if there is sufficient evidence for Simmons to be bound over for trial on charges of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
She was arrested May 15th 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 in the Brown County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
