LAS VEGAS (AP) - Trial is set next year for a 27-year-old North Las Vegas man facing 83 felony charges alleging that he abducted and kept several teenage girls as sex slaves.
A state court judge on Thursday scheduled Jimmy Carter Kim’s trial for March 13, 2017, after a prosecutor and defense attorney said it will take time to prepare.
Kim is jailed on $1.5 million bail. He faces life in prison on kidnapping and child sexual assault charges. He also faces lewdness and use of a minor in pornography charges.
The case came to light when a 14-year-old Arizona girl walked into a Las Vegas-area convenience store last December and said she’d been kept captive for a month and raped repeatedly.
A 15-year-old from Las Vegas provided Reno police with a similar account.
