Trial date set in predator sexual assault case against Joseph
A July hearing established that hearsay statements from underage victims may be admitted at the upcoming trial if standards are met, with testimony from the girls required before such evidence. The court reserved on closed circuit testimony and suppression of Walmart records, while additional discovery and multiple delays push jury selection to Aug 16 and trial into Aug 18. Joseph faces three charges including aggravated criminal sexual assault and attempted aggravated robbery, with bond set at 75000 and multiple future trials planned.
