A February 14th jury trial has been set for a Manhattan man facing three counts of aggravated criminal sodomy.Jase Stanton’s case continues to get delayed, with the original case occurring in June of 2015–and trial rescheduled at least a couple of times. A motions hearing was held early this year (2016) with a trial then set for April–Stanton was again set for trial this past week but the case was delayed with a status hearing held earlier this week.
Three men identified as Fort Riley soldiers testified regarding the June seventh incident, when they indicated they met Stanton at a Manhattan bar. The men said they went to his home where he had promised there would be women, but passed out after consuming part of a mixed drink made by Stanton.
As KMAN first reported at the time, Stanton made Kansas City Headlines in 2009 and resigned from his position as a field coordinator with Todd Tiahrt’s U-S Senate campaign after being accused of aggravated criminal sodomy and sexual battery. He was later convicted of those crimes.
The post Trial again set in sexual assault case appeared first on 1350 KMAN.
