Two Haines men were indicted by a Juneau grand jury last week. Each faces multiple charges of sexual abuse of a minor.
The charges are from May, when, according to court documents, Stephen Brower, 35, and William Dale Whittington, 25, each allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old multiple times on the same day.
Whittington faces four counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor, a class B felony. Each of the charges are from the same day, in separate locations.
Whittington was arraigned on Thursday in Juneau Superior Court. He pleaded not guilty and asked for a jury trial. The court set his bail at $45,000.
Whittington is also the suspect in a recent library burglary case in Haines.
Brower faces two counts of second-degree sexual abuse of a minor. As in Whittington’s case, both charges are from the same day, in separate locations.
He was arraigned in Juneau Superior Court on Friday, where he pleaded not guilty and requested a trial.
His bail remains at $10,000.
The jury trial is scheduled Jan. 30 in Haines.
