(KNZA)-- A Holton man accused of child-related sex crimes involving a girl under the age of 14 has waived his preliminary hearing.

19-year-old Chaz Zibell was bound over to Jackson County District Court this week on six counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.

Arraignment was set for April 27th.

Zibell was arrested last September following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.

According to the criminal complaint, he is accused of possessing child pornography and soliciting a 13-year-old girl for pornography pictures.  The alleged offenses occurred between July and November of 2015.

Zibell remains free on a $10,000 bond.
