W. Neb. councilman charged with sex abuse wants trial moved

Scott Haun

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) – A Kimball city councilman charged with sexually assaulting a mentally disabled teenage boy wants his trial moved out of Scotts Bluff County.
Scott Haun was charged in October with first-degree sexual assault on a child more than 12 years of age but less than 16. His trial is set for March.
Haun’s attorney, Don Miller, filed several motions this week, including a request for a change of venue, citing pre-trial publicity.
According to court records, the alleged abuse took place in September at the boy’s home in rural Scotts Bluff County. Haun has denied the allegation. Haun, who has been on the Kimball City Council for a total of 12 years, says he won’t resign.
