(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman has been bound over on a pair of child sex charges.

Following a preliminary hearing Wednesday, a judge determined there was sufficient evidence for Teaini Simmons to be bound over to Brown County District Court on charges of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Arraignment was scheduled for the morning of March 25.

A judge found Simmons competent to stand trail following a hearing in December based an evaluation conducted by KANZA Mental Health.

She was arrested in May of last year following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.

The investigation was launched after the department received a report from a concerned citizen that Simmons was romantically involved with a child under the age of 14.

She remains free on a $100,000 bond.
