Accused child molester facing new charges

(KNZA)--A former Hoyt man already facing a new trial on child sex charges is now facing additional charges related to the alleged possession of child pornography.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that Leon Holloway, currently of Onaga, was bound over Tuesday on nine counts of sexual exploitation of a child following a preliminary hearing.

Arraignment is set for May 25th.

Holloway was charged in 2015 with rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of criminal sodomy stemming from alleged incidents occurring between April 2013 and March 2015 in the city of Hoyt involving a girl under the age of 14.

A mistrial was declared in December on those charges after a Jackson County jury was unable to reach an unanimous verdict.

Miller says his case on the new charges is now combined with the molestation case, which set for trial in July.

Holloway remains free on bond.
