(KAIR)--The request for a continuance in the trial for a former physician assistant accused of sexually abusing veterans has been denied.
The Leavenworth Times reports the trial for Mark Wisner remains scheduled for April 3, following a hearing Tuesday in Leavenworth County.
Wisner, of Horton, is charged with one felony count of aggravated sexual battery, one felony count of aggravated criminal sodomy, and three misdemeanor charges of sexual battery.
Another hearing in the case, focused on the admissibility of evidence, is scheduled for Friday in Leavenworth County.
The crimes, alleged to have occurred between 2012 and 2014, are alleged to have happened while Wisner was employed at the Eisenhower Veterans Affairs hospital, in Leavenworth.
The case sparked a federal inquiry, led by United States Senator Jerry Moran, and a push to change laws related to background checks for VA staff.
