The preliminary hearing in Lincoln County for Green River councilman Allan Wilson has been postponed for the fourth time, until Friday, June 29.
Wilson, 56, has been charged with first degree sexual abuse of a minor in Lincoln County and second degree sexual abuse of a minor in Sweetwater County. If Wilson is found guilty of both counts, he could face up to 70 years in prison.
The case in Sweetwater County is already going forward, as Wilson pleaded not guilty on Friday, June 8, in the Sweetwater County 3rd District Court.
Judge Nena James determined that Wilson’s trial is to start on Oct. 8. Wilson is currently out on a $75,000 bond.
The alleged victim who has accused Wilson said that Wilson inappropriately touched him in 2011 while staying near Commissary Ridge near Kemmerer. He has also accused Wilson of sexual assault near Green River.
Wilson was once the director of the Green River Parks and Recreation Department. He was elected to the Green River City Council in 2014.
Online, Wilson is listed as a member of the Commissary Ridge Association board.
The Kemmerer Gazette will continue to follow this story as it develops in both Lincoln and Sweetwater Counties.
