Leon Holloway
(KNZA)--The jury trial for a Hoyt man accused of sex crimes involving a girl under the age of 14 has been postponed for a second time.
50-year-old Leon Hollaway had been scheduled to go on trial beginning November 28th on charges of rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
However, his attorney, Topeka Attorney William Rork, filed a motion last week asking for a continuance due to his ongoing health issues.
The court has appointed Atchison attorney John Kurth to act as a secondary counsel for Hollaway due to Rork’s health issues. A new trial date has not been set.
Hollaway was arrested in May of last year following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department. He is charged in connection with alleged sex crimes occurring between April 2013 and March 2015 in the city of Hoyt.
Hollaway remains free on bond. .
