Hearing delayed in sex abuse case

Published: February 12. 2013 4:00AM PST

A plea hearing scheduled for Monday for the former Bulletin classified advertising manager, who is charged with second-degree sexual abuse, has been rescheduled.

Kevin O’Connell, 35, was arrested Aug. 15, shortly after his position at the newspaper was eliminated.

Police were contacted when a list containing information about women with whom he had had sexual relationships — including a prostitute and girls 17 years old or younger — was found on his work computer.

Second-degree sexual abuse includes sex with persons under age 18, who cannot legally consent, or sex without consent.

Since his arrest, O’Connell’s plea hearing has been rescheduled three times.
