By John Nixon

05/12/2016

( KLZA)--The jury trial for a former Richardson County Deputy Sheriff facing three felony counts has been postponed again in Richardson County District Court.

27-year-old Joshua Nincehelser of Dawson is charged with first degree sexual assault, child abuse and incest. The charges allege that the victim was Nincehelsers daughter who was 4-years old at the time of the alleged crimes.

Nincehelser was arrested following a Nebraska State Patrol investigation.

Court documents show Nincehelser told investigators he believes the girl was coached by her mother and other relatives to repeat the claims of sexual assault.

In September, 2015, Ninchelser entered a plea of not guilty to the charges. A jury trial was schedule to begin in January. It was postponed until May 9th. That trial was postponed and on Thursday morning, a new trial date was scheduled for October 18th.

If convicted, Ninchelser faces a sentence of life in prison.

He is currently on probation on charges of criminal mischief and false reporting, for incidents that occurred while he was on duty as a deputy sheriff in Richardson County in June, 2014. Nincehelser shot himself in the arm and fired shots into his patrol unit, but reported being shot by a motorist, after Ninchelser stopped to see if he could assist the car he said was stopped on a county road.
