Spencer, Iowa — A written Arraignment and Not Guilty plea have been entered in the case of a former Spencer pastor.
Online court records indicate that Aaron Hamrock, the attorney for Kevin Grimes, entered the written arraignment and plea Friday afternoon (October 14th). Grimes is charged with three felony counts, and two misdemeanor counts, of sexual exploitation by a counselor.
Following Friday’s Not Guilty Plea, District Court Judge Patrick Carr ordered a Pretrial Conference be held at 9:30 am on Tuesday, November 15th, in Clay County District Court at Spencer. Carr also set a trial date of Tuesday, December 6th at 9:00 am.
