Following a preliminary hearing on May 21, probable cause was found, and the case was bound over to Buffalo County District Court.
An arraignment date had yet to be set in district court. The man’s bail was continued at 10 percent of $100,000.
According to the complaint filed in Buffalo County Court, the 53-year-old allegedly subjected a juvenile between 12 and 16 years old to sexual penetration between March 2006 and March 2008, January 2007 and November 2007, December 2007 and May 2008 and July 2008.
The incest charges stem from several incidents with a separate juvenile victim including April 2006 and March 2008, January 2007 and November 2007, May 2008 and July 2008 and December 2007.
