s show getting biggest makeover in 33 years
A Lawrence man accused of sexually assaulting a girl for more than six years has pleaded not guilty to the alleged crimes.
Andrew L. Tribble, 40, appeared Tuesday in Douglas County District Court, where he waived his preliminary hearing and, through his appointed attorney Michael Clarke, entered a not guilty plea on all counts.
Judge Sally Pokorny scheduled a jury trial for the case for April 23.
Tribble was arrested in August and charged with rape and other sex crimes — 12 felony counts in all — against the girl, who is now 16. According to the charges, the alleged crimes occurred over the past six and a half years, starting when the girl was 10.
Pokorny previously denied the Journal-World’s request for the affidavit prepared by police in support of Tribble’s arrest. She said details in the document were “sordid” and distressing, and that releasing it would jeopardize the well-being of the victim.
Tribble remains jailed on $300,000 bond.
