July Jury Trial Delayed Until October

The sexual assault trial of 27 year old Hunter Ingram has been pushed back to this fall. Ingram is charged with criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse and was scheduled to go on trial on July 7th. But defense attorney William Easton filed a motion to continue the trial date which was granted by Judge William C. Hudson over the objection of State’s Attorney Kelli Storckman. Ingram’s trial is now set for October 6th with pre-trial conferences set for July 28th and September 15th.  Ingram’s arrest was the result of an MCPD investigation into an alleged incident last November 17th at a residence in the 600 block of West 6th Street. Ingram has entered a not guilty plea to the charges. He has been held in the Wabash County Jail since his arrest. Subpoenas have been issued to at least 11 potential witnesses in the case.
