An Emporia man charged with rape is now about a month away from his scheduled trial date.
Edgar Hilberto Gonzalez, 46, was set for a final pretrial hearing date of Dec. 5 during a hearing last week. Trial is currently set for Dec. 10.
Gonzalez is charged with single counts of rape and aggravated criminal sodomy after an alleged incident from early this year. He’s accused of sexually assaulting a then-18-year-old person in early January. The affidavit in this case has been sealed, so additional details have not been released.
