(KNZA)--A special prosecutor has been appointed in a Doniphan County case involving a former Sheriff's deputy facing multiple charges.
A judge signed an order Tuesday granting a request to appoint Lenexa attorney Adam Zenter to complete the prosecution of the case against Nathaniel Keller.
Doniphan County Attorney Charles Baskins made the request, which was approved by the Doniphan County Commission.
Zenter is a former assistant attorney general for the state of Kansas.
Keller has pleaded not guilty to 15 counts. He is charged with sex crimes alleged to have occurred in 2017 with a child 14 or older, but less than 16 years of age. Keller is also charged with domestic-related offenses alleged to have occurred in 2019 and 2021.
He was arrested in June of 2021 after Kansas Bureau of Investigation agents served a search warrant on his home.
Keller remains free on a $500,000 bond.
