(KAIR)--A preliminary hearing is set for a 68-year-old Atchison man accused of sex crimes against a young girl.
Charged with rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated indecent liberties with a child, Larry Mercer is scheduled to appear in Atchison County District Court for the hearing on April 5th.
Mercer was arrested in early February after Atchison Police were contacted by a family member of the victim.
At the time of the arrest, Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News the investigation, launched January 30th, focused on unlawful sexual acts committed against a female victim under the age of 14.
Wilson said Mercer and the victim were acquainted.
He remains held in the Atchison County Jail.
