David Wayne Ardeneaux, 50, was charged in April with one felony count of lewd molestation and two felony counts of sodomy. His preliminary hearing was originally set for Thursday, but was reset for Sept. 26.
According to court records, the victim, a 5-year-old girl, allegedly told police that Ardeneaux had touched her inappropriately, and described what had happened to her during a September 2004 incident.
The victim lives in Texas with her father, but the alleged abuse took place during a visit to a relative's home in Sallisaw. Ardeneaux denied inappropriately touching the girl.
