The trial of a Hunker man accused of indecent and simple assault got underway yesterday.
The Trib reports that 21-year-old Dakota Archibeque is accused of forcing himself on his victim during a Labor Day weekend party in 2021. His accuser, now 20-years-old, took the stand yesterday and talked about the incident, saying while she was drunk at the time, she remembered repeatedly objecting to his advances before he sexually attacked her.
Assistant Public Defender Jack Manderino said Archibeque maintains his innocence.
The trial continues today.
