The trial for a former bonding agent charged with human trafficking and rape has been continued again at the request of the defense.

Attorney Sam Kepfield who represents Dwight Jurgens apparently has a trial next week out of Reno County for a case from 2011, He says he can’t get out of because of how old the case is. So, Judge Trish Rose reluctantly granted the request, in part because the state didn’t oppose the continuance.

Jurgens is charged with four counts of aggravated human trafficking, two counts of attempting to commit aggravated human trafficking, rape and aggravated criminal sodomy. The human trafficking and aggravated counts are charged due to his authority of controlling persons because of his bonding business. He had worked for TNT bonding at the time of the initial arrest.

All four victims allege that they were threatened with being taken back to jail if they didn’t agree to have sex with him.

The trial was scheduled to begin Tuesday, but has now been pushed back to January 28.
