COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa trial for a former Nebraska jail employee facing child sex and pornography charges has been delayed.

The Council Bluffs trial of Shawn Beu has been rescheduled to begin Oct. 18 at the request of prosecution and defense attorneys. The trial was supposed to begin Tuesday.

Beu has pleaded not guilty to Iowa charges of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation of a minor, and related crimes. He’s also been charged in federal court with child pornography possession.

Beu, who lives in Council Bluffs, was a corrections sergeant at the Douglas County Jail in Omaha when he was arrested in March.
