The trial for a Boulder City man facing multiple counts of sexual assault has been postponed until June.

Peter Bennett, 68, was apprehended in August 2013 and faces 34 charges of sexual assaults of five female victims ages 16 to 21 over a five-year period.

One incident allegedly occurred at the Boulder City Horseman’s Association corrals on Aug. 17, 2013. Bennett leased a lot at the corrals, according to Scott Donnelly, former president of the association.

Bennett, a rodeo trainer, was indicted on multiple counts of sexual assault, kidnapping, open and gross lewdness, coercion, battery, and burglary — including 24 felonies and 10 gross misdemeanors.

Bennett’s jury trial, which was scheduled for last Monday, has been rescheduled for June 22 in District Court.

City’s pet licensing proposal still in limbo
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

As the proposal to allow for a license for pet breeding, as well as the keeping of more animals than the three currently allowed by city code that came within inches of becoming law in March of this year, appears to be in some kind of limbo. After it was tabled, and has not yet been rescheduled to come back before the city council, a related case recently came before the municipal court.
