Burnet indecency trial set

A jury trial has been set for a Burnet County man charged with four counts of indecency with a child through sexual contact after a case status hearing was held Friday, Jan. 27.

A trial date of March 20 has been set for Travis Dean Wimberly, 23, Burnet, who was indicted in February 2016. He will be tried by 424th District Judge Evan Stubbs.

Wimberly is accused of indecency with a child by having sexual contact with a minor, a second-degree felony, on two separate occasions — once on Dec. 28, 2015, and three times on Jan. 2, 2016. He is also charged with indecency with a child through exposure, which is a third-degree felony, from another incident on Jan. 2, 2016.

He remains in the Burnet County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond, or $10,000 on each of the five counts against him.

Representatives for District Attorney Wiley “Sonny” McAfee declined to comment on the pending trial last week.
