Trial for a Clearfield man charged with raping a woman and then kidnapping her to Wyoming is set for Jan. 30 in 2nd District Court.
Jodie Hymas, 24, is charged with rape, aggravated sexual assault, and aggravated kidnapping, all first-degree felonies that carry prison terms of five years to life.The incident occurred July 30 but trial has been delayed several times because Hymas underwent a mental evaluation and now says he suffers from amnesia. His attorney says the amnesia makes preparing a case difficult.
Hymas is charged with kidnapping an Ogden woman from a friend's house in Clearfield the night of July 30, raping her, and driving to Evanston, Wyo., with the woman tied up in the trunk of his car.
