(KNZA)--The preliminary hearing for a St. Joseph man charged in Brown County with the electronic solicitation of a child has been delayed again.
The hearing for 70-year-old William Buehler was postponed Wednesday to October 11th at the request of his court-appointed attorney, Andy Delaney.
Buehler was arrested July 10th following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says the complaint alleges Buehler was involved in communications through the internet with a person he believed to be a 14-year-old girl between May 1st and July 10th in an effort to commit an unlawful sex act. However, Hill says Buehler was actually communicating with an undercover officer with the Hiawatha Police Department’s cyber crime unit.
When Buehler arrived in Hiawatha at a pre-arranged meeting place to meet the supposed 14-year-old girl, he was instead met by officers and arrested.
Buehler remains in the Brown County Jail on a $150,000 bond after a motion for a bond reduction was denied Wednesday.
