(KNZA)--A former Hoyt resident is facing a new trial in Jackson County on child sex charges.
The Holton Recorder reports a judge has set a five-day retrial in the case of 52-year-old Leon Holloway, currently of Onaga, for the week of July 16th.
A mistrial was declared in December after a Jackson County jury was unable to reach an unanimous verdict on charges of rape, indecent liberties with a child and two counts of criminal sodomy following a week long trial.
Holloway was arrested in May 2015 by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department following an investigation into alleged sex offenses occurring between April 2012 and March 2015 in the city of Hoyt involving a girl under the age of 14.
Holloway also faces a charge of exploitation of a child in a separate case based on an investigation by the Sheriff’s Department focused on the alleged possession of child pornography.
He was arrested on the new charge in October.
A judge delayed action on a motion filed by Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller to consolidate the two cases. The motion is to be considered at a March 26th preliminary hearing on the new charge.
