(KNZA)--A former Hoyt man facing multiple child-sex related charges is to be sentenced next month after being found guilty on a single count of sexual exploitation of a child.

The Holton Recorder reports a Jackson County jury returned the verdict in the second trial against 53-year-old Leon Holloway, currently of Onaga.

Holloway was charged in May 2015 with rape, aggravated indecent liberties with a child and two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy in connection with alleged offenses occurring between April 2013 and March 2015 in the city of Hoyt involving a girl under the age of 14.

An additional case was then filed against Holloway in 2017 charging him with nine counts of sexual exploitation of a child involving the alleged possession of child pornography.

A judge declared a mistrial in December 2017 in the first case after a jury was unable to reach an unanimous verdict.

The two cases were combined and a new trial date set.

Holloway is to be sentenced August 24th in Jackson County District Court.
