20 year old William L. Catt of Mt. Carmel has pled not guilty to a charge of criminal sexual abuse between the age of 13 and 17. Catt was arrested last month after he was found in the bedroom of a 15 year old girl on Walnut Street. During an appearance this afternoon in Wabash County Circuit Court, Catt waived his rights to a preliminary hearing and arraignment and entered the not guilty plea. A pre-trial conference in the case was set for June 5th. At the time of his arrest, Catt was out on bond awaiting sentencing on a 2017 Wabash County conviction for aggravated criminal sexual abuse between the age of 13 and 17. Sentencing in that case is set for May 22nd. He is being held without bond in the Wabash County Jail.
