(KNZA)--A Utah man, facing multiple charges in connection with a 2024 Jefferson County sex crimes case, will undergo a competency evaluation.

According to court documents, Jefferson County District Judge Christopher Etzel last week granted a motion filed by the attorney for 32-year-old Kolby O'Conner for the evaluation.

The evaluation will be conducted by The Guidance Center, in Oskaloosa.

A competency hearing has been set for May 8th.

O'Conner faces two counts each of rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated sexual battery in connection with alleged sex crimes occurring in April 2024 while he was living in Jefferson County.

He was extradited back to Kansas late last month after being arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service in Tooele, Utah on a Jefferson County District Court warrant.

O'Conner remains in the Jefferson County Jail, held on a $150,000 bond.
