(KNZA)--A new trial date has been set for a Hoyt man accused of sex crimes involving a girl under the age of 14.
A 4-day jury trial for 50-year-old Leon Holloway is now set to begin June 13th in Jackson County District Court.
The trial setting marks the third for Holloway after being delayed twice due to ongoing medical issues with his attorney, William Rork, of Topeka. Atchison attorney John Kurth was appointed as a secondary counsel for Holloway last November.
Holloway faces charges 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 in the city of Hoyt.
He was arrested in May 2015 following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and remains free on bond.
