Chadron Rape Trial Cancelled; New Plea Hearing Set in Sex Assault Case

gavel-and-scaleCHADRON, Neb. (AP) — A plea deal has been reached for a Tennessee man accused of sexually assaulting a student at Chadron State College in northwest Nebraska in 2014.

A trial scheduled to begin last week for Timothy Jungquist was canceled, and court records show a new plea hearing is set for Feb. 12. Jungquist, of Nashville, in November pleaded not guilty to false imprisonment and forcible sexual assault.

Authorities say a student contacted Chadron police on Oct. 7, 2014, saying she’d been sexually assaulted two days earlier in Andrews Hall on the campus. Jungquist soon was arrested. He was a Chadron State student at the time.
