A hearing for a Sabetha man who was arrested in May 2018 for child sex crimes is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 4.

Gage Gresham, 20, is scheduled to appear this week for a hearing to determine his competency. Last month, Gresham’s attorney requested a mental health evaluation, which delayed his preliminary hearing until the court received back the results.

Gresham was arrested on Saturday, May 26, and charged with aggravated indecent liberties with a child, criminal sodomy and indecent liberties with a child. According to the complaint, it is alleged that Gresham engaged in sexual intercourse, sodomy and lewd fondling or touching with a 15-year-old child.

According the Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert, a request by Gresham in June 2018 to have his bond reduced was denied. His bond remains set at $200,000.

This case was investigated by the Sabetha Police Department.
