Another delay in the case of a Mount Jackson man accused of sexually assaulting two underage girls in the northern end of the valley.

According to online records, a hearing to set a possible plea date or trial date for Devin Patterson was continued again at the request of his attorney until February 21st in Winchester Circuit Court.

It is the sixth time this hearing has been delayed since a grand jury indicted the 21-year-old Patterson on five charges back on April 19th.

Among the charges Patterson faces are three counts of aggravated sexual battery.

Police report the alleged abuses occurred between June 1st, 2016 and November 1st, 2017 and both victims were under the age of 13 at the time.
