The jury trial could be the end of a legal road that saw Sanders first charged in Clark County Common Pleas Court with showing underage girls pornography but evolved into prosecutors accusing the man of rape.

The Springfield News-Sun will be in the courtroom this morning and will update this story as developments occur.
