(KNZA)--A Hiawatha man facing a pair of child sex charges has been found competent to stand trial.
31-year-old Robert Alan Edwardson is charged with two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
According to the criminal complaint, the charges involve two separate victims—a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old.
Edwardson was arrested in February of last year following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department.
The case was placed on hold after a motion was granted for a competency evaluation.
A preliminary hearing has now be set for Wednesday, March 18.
Edwardson remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $75,000 bond.
