A Manhattan man’s trial began Tuesday with jury selection in Riley County District Court for a case charging him with aggravated sex crimes against a child.
Joseph Ray Marlow, 26, is charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy of a child under 14 years old and two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child under 14 years old. All charges involve a child born in 2019.
Marlow was arrested for the alleged crimes in March and pleaded not guilty to all counts in July. Judge John Bosch previously denied a motion from chief public defender Trey Bryant to reduce Marlow’s $50,000 bond.
