DENVER (AP) — A mix-up in paperwork by a prosecutor has once again postponed a hearing for a northern Colorado nurse charged with inappropriately touching six women under his care in Colorado and three more in Nebraska.

Thomas Moore was due in court Thursday for a preliminary hearing. The hearing is now scheduled for Aug. 22.

A public defender for Moore did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Moore faces eight felony and three misdemeanor counts of sexual misconduct.

It was another delay in a case after his public defender in June cited problems meeting with Moore.

The investigation raised questions about gaps in licensing and screening processes for those hired to work with vulnerable patients.
