(KNZA)--The former physician assistant who was convicted of sexually abusing patients at the Leavenworth veterans hospital will have to wait awhile longer to learn his fate.
Mark Wisner, of Horton, was scheduled to be sentenced Friday in Leavenworth County District Court. However, The Leavenworth Times reports his sentencing was continued until November 3rd because the judge in the case was not available.
Last month, a jury convicted Wisner of one felony count of aggravated sexual battery, one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy and three misdemeanor charges of sexual battery.
The crimes occurred between 2012 and 2014 while Wisner was working at the Eisenhower VA Medical Center.
Wisner surrendered his medical license in 2015 after at least seven patients accused him of abuse, and medical regulators said at the time that others could come forward. Multiple former VA patients have sued in federal court, some seeking $3 million in damages.
