(KNZA)--For the third time, the jury trial for a Hoyt man accused of sex crimes involving a girl under the age of 14 has been delayed.

A 4-day trial for 50-year-old Leon Holloway had been set to begin next Tuesday in Jackson County District Court but a judge this week granted a continuance due to the death of Holloway’s attorney, William Rork.

Rork, of Topeka, died May 31st.     

The trial was rescheduled for week of  November 27th.

Holloway faces charges of rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy stemming from alleged sex offenses occurring between April 2013 and March 2015.

He was arrested in May 2015 following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and remains free on bond.
