(KNZA)--A rural Netawaka man facing multiple sex-related charges involving an underage girl has entered into a plea agreement, canceling a jury trial that had been set in the case.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that 36-year-old Scott Buchheit pleaded “no contest” Tuesday morning in Jackson County District Court to one count of rape right before jury selection was set to begin.

In exchange for the plea, ten other charges were dismissed.    Sentencing was set for March 11th.

Buchheit had been charged with five counts of rape, two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, indecent solicitation of a child and theft.

He was charged in connection with alleged sex offenses occurring between March 2008 and January of 2015.  Buchheit was also charged in the theft of a Polaris Ranger side-by-side UTV.

He was arrested last February following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.

Buchheit remains in the Jackson County Jail.
