Trial For James Bentley Delayed Until Jan. 9

VINTON, Iowa -- Trial for a man charged with sexually abusing Jetseta Gage has been delayed until Jan. 9.

James Bentley, 33, is charged with second-degree sexual abuse. He is accused of sexually abusing the 10-year-old Cedar Rapids girl over a three-year period.

He is charged in both Benton and Linn counties.

His trial in Benton County was scheduled to start Nov. 7, but his lawyer asked for a delay.

Bentley's brother, Roger Bentley, is charged in Gage's kidnapping and death.

Gage was taken from her Cedar Rapids home on March 25. Her body was found the next day in an abandoned mobile home in rural Johnson County.
