James Howard-George will go to trial in a case in which he allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old girl.

Howard-George, 28, of Butler, again appeared virtually Thursday for a continuation of his preliminary hearing that had been delayed since Monday due to technical difficulties in playing video evidence.

Howard-George is charged with three felonies, including statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and corruption of minors. He also is charged with a misdemeanor count of indecent assault on a minor.

Howard-George also had been charged with felony aggravated indecent assault, but District Judge William Fullerton dismissed that charged at the conclusion of Thursday's hearing.

“I didn't hear any testimony that fit the description of aggravated indecent assault,” Fullerton said. “I'm going to dismiss that, but everything else will be held for court.”
