WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A former Wichita school safety supervisor accused of molesting boys in Kansas has been sentenced for similar offenses in Colorado.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Alex Robinson was sentenced Tuesday in El Paso County, Colorado, to 16 years in prison for two counts of sexual assault of a child, age 15 to 18, by a person in a position of trust.

Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett says he expects the Kansas case to resume soon. Robinson is facing eight child sexual assault charges in Wichita, where he previously worked as a police officer and school employee.

The case has been on hold since July, when a judge issued a warrant for Robinson’s arrest after he didn’t show up for his jury trial because he was in Colorado’s custody.
