SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) – A Kimball city councilman charged with sexually assaulting a mentally disabled teenage boy has pleaded not guilty.
Forty-eight-year-old Scott Haun was charged in October with first-degree sexual assault on a child more than 12 years of age but less than 16.
Haun pleaded not guilty on Thursday during an arraignment in Scotts Bluff County District Court. His case is set for trial during the March jury term.
Court records say the alleged abuse took place Sept. 3 at the boy’s home in rural Scotts Bluff County.
Haun, who has served on the Kimball City Council for a total of 12 years, says he won’t resign.
