FREMONT, Neb. (AP) – A man questioned in the disappearance of a Peru State College student is scheduled to go trial in March on charges that he raped a teenager in Fremont in 2008.
Thirty-year-old Joshua Keadle is charged with first-degree sexual assault of a minor. A judge on Tuesday scheduled Keadle’s trial for March 13 in Dodge County District Court.
Authorities say Keadle is a person of interest in the December 2010 disappearance of Peru State student, Tyler “Ty” Thomas. No charges have been filed against Keadle in that case
Keadle, originally from Swansea, S.C., was accused of sexually assaulting another Peru State College student on Halloween night in 2010. Prosecutors dropped those charges last month after a hearing on new evidence in the case.
