Keadle Seeking New Rape Trial
FREMONT, Neb. (AP) _ The man who used a medical condition
defense to combat a rape charge in Fremont has asked for a new
trial.
An April 24 hearing on the motion is scheduled for Joshua
Keadle, who originally is from Swansea, S.C. He was convicted March
15 for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in a college
residence hall in December 2008.
Keadle didn't testify during two days of testimony, but in a
taped interview with a Fremont detective he denied penetrating the
girl, saying he went into the bedroom intending to have sex with
her, but couldn't.
His accuser, now 18, says she woke up to Keadle having sex with
her that night.
Keadle remains a person of interest in the December 2010
disappearance of a Peru State College student, Tyler Thomas.
