A 23-year-old Midway man charged with having inappropriate sexual contact with a female relative appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court last Monday.
Brennan Ray McKenna was named as the alleged perpetrator when the victim reported the incident to authorities.
In court Monday, it was announced that McKenna had rejected a plea offer by the state. He is now set to go to trial during the first week in August.
The court has sealed most of the information that led to McKenna’s arrest.
According to the information that has been made public in the case, the victim is said to have told Mountain Home police that she had been asleep in her bed and had been awakened by McKenna touching her inappropriately.
She said immediately after she woke up, McKenna left the girl’s room, and then the residence only a short time later.
McKenna was located and arrested three days after the alleged incident. The arrest followed an interview he had with investigators.
McKenna is charged with second-degree sexual assault – a Class B Felony.
He is free on $15,000 bond.
