(KNZA)--A change of venue is being sought in a Holton attempted murder and rape case.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller says a Jackson County district judge Thursday granted a defense motion to continue the jury trial for Filip Rosario, of Topeka, to allow for the completion of a venue study. The trial had been set to begin September 16th.

Miller says the jury trial won’t be rescheduled until after a hearing on the motion to transfer venue is heard on November 7th.

Rosario is charged with 8 felony counts—including attempted capital murder, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy, two counts of rape, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated battery and criminal threat.

Authorities say the crimes occurred on December 19th and 20th of last year. The victim was treated at a Topeka hospital for injuries and released.

Rosario was arrested early December 21st in a Topeka parking lot.

He remains in the Jackson County Jail on $300,000 bond.
