Lofton Due Trial on Sex Charge

Brown County Circuit Judge Alexander Grant accepted Lofton’s plea of innocent at the close of a three-hour preliminary hearing, and set trial for May 18. Grant based his decision on the testimony of a single witness--a 30-year-old woman who met Lofton with friends in a bar the night of Dec. 17.
