A Douglas County judge Tuesday ordered a 20-year-old Lawrence man to stand trial on charges he had sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl in May.

Prosecutors said District Judge Sally Pokorny heard evidence in a preliminary hearing Tuesday afternoon and scheduled an Oct. 5 trial on charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and criminal sodomy with a child through fondling or touching.

Lawrence police arrested the man in June after receiving a call from a parent who alleged the man had inappropriate sexual relations with the girl May 21 in northeastern Lawrence.

The man was also arrested on a warrant from the Kansas Department of Corrections. He has been on parole since February after serving one year in prison on several theft and burglary convictions in Douglas County.

The Journal-World generally does not identify sex crime suspects unless they are convicted.
