The felony trial for alleged sex crimes involving minors by a former SRVUSD teacher and cheer coach that had been set to kick off this week has been postponed yet again, with the new trial date set for one month following the previously scheduled date.
It’s the seventh time the trial date has been delayed in the case against Nicholas Moseby that was brought forth by the Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office in 2022. The trial had most recently been scheduled to start Monday (Feb. 24). The new trial date is set for exactly one month later on March 24.
Moseby, who has pleaded not guilty, was first taken into custody on criminal sex abuse charges in September 2022. He has been out on bail since December 2022.
Reasons for the previous delays have included requests for more time for preparation by both sides and scheduling conflicts with attorneys and the judge assigned to the case. A spokesperson for the DA’s office said Monday that it’s unclear what the reason for the latest delay is.
The Feb. 24 trial date had been set to proceed following a Feb. 10 case management conference. However, a motion to continue was filed on Feb. 21 and granted as of Monday.
The next hearing in the case is a readiness conference scheduled for March 13 ahead of the new trial date.
