(KNZA)--A former Hoyt man already facing child-sex related charges in Jackson County stemming from a case dating back to 2015 has been arrested on a new charge.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says 52-year-old Leon Holloway, who now resides in Onaga, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a charge of exploitation of a child following a traffic stop in Hoyt.

Morse says the charge arises from a Sheriff's Department investigation focused on the alleged possession of child pornography.

Following is arrest, Holloway was booked into the Jackson County Jail where he's being held on a bond of $25,000.

Holloway is scheduled to go on trial the week of November 27th in Jackson County on charges of rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy.

Those charges stem from alleged sex offenses occurring between April 2013 and March 2015 in the city of Hoyt involving a girl under the age of 14.

Holloway was arrested on the charges in May 2015 following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff's Department, and was free on bond when he was arrested in the new case.
