He’s charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

The alleged crimes involved a then 6-year-old girl and occurred between January 7 and July 23 of 2012. The investigation led to Cousins was arrested in December of 2012.

The defense was granted a suppression of the defendant’s statements to law enforcement with Attorney Sam Kepfield arguing that they were not given voluntarily.

District Judge Trish Rose agreed with the defense contention after taking it under advisement. She listened to the taped interview for herself and made her decision.

The trial was scheduled to begin in late September.
