A jury trial has been scheduled for a Riverside man facing multiple felony sex abuse charges in Washington County.
Fifty-one-year-old Jason Bex is charged with sexual abuse, incest, and lascivious acts involving a child. Court records show the case had previously been scheduled for trial in December but was later continued.
A pretrial conference is now set for Friday, March 13th, with a jury trial scheduled to begin March 24th at the Washington County Courthouse.
Bex was arrested last May and bond in the case was set at one million dollars.
Prosecutors have charged Bex with five counts of sexual abuse in the second degree, a Class B felony, five counts of lascivious acts with a child, a Class C felony, and five counts of incest, a Class D felony.
According to court documents, Bex is accused of committing multiple offenses involving a victim under the age of 14 over a period of approximately three years.
Court records also indicate Bex was previously listed on the Iowa sex offender registry following four counts of assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in 2012.
Bex is currently being held in the Washington County Jail.
