A trial date has been scheduled in Cumberland County Criminal Court for a man charged with a child sex crime.

Court officials say 43-year-old John Wayne Hamby of the Westel community was arrested on an indictment by a grand jury for rape of a child.

The incident is alleged to have occurred in August 2020.

Hamby is accused of forcing a sex act on a juvenile below the age of 13.

In court last Friday, the judge set a trial to start on May 10, 2024 for Hamby.
