Councilman accused of molesting disabled boy won’t step down

Kimball, NE

KIMBALL, Neb. (AP) – A city councilman in the western Nebraska town of Kimball who’s charged with sexually assaulting a mentally disabled teenage boy says he won’t resign from the council. City Administrator Harold Farrar tells Eagle Radio station KQSK that Councilman Scott Haun says he has “no intention” of resigning. Farrar says the council, which met on Tuesday, will not request any action. Farrar says it’s Haun’s decision whether to continue on the council. Prosecutors charged Haun last week with first-degree sexual assault on a child more than 12 years of age but less than 16. An affidavit in Scotts Bluff County District Court says the alleged abuse took place Sept. 3 at the boy’s home. Haun was released from jail on $15,000 bond.
