FAYETTEVILLE -- A former Razorbacks basketball player charged with human trafficking and fourth-degree sexual assault involving a 14-year-old girl had his case delayed in Washington County Circuit Court on Tuesday.
Jason Germund Henry, 26, of West Memphis was arrested in March after Fayetteville police received a call from Washington Regional Medical Center's emergency room that a 14-year-old female patient had been raped multiple times, according to police call logs and Henry's arrest report.
The girl told police a man named "Allstar" acted as her pimp. The man texted the girl about how much to charge for sex acts and he was in charge of her, according to the report. Police believe "Allstar" is Henry, who played one season with the University of Arkansas before being cut from the team for academic problems in 2009.
Henry pleaded not guilty to the charges in mid-June. Henry's next court date is at 1:30 p.m. Oct. 12 before Circuit Judge Joanna Taylor.
The delay Tuesday was to allow the sides more time to prepare their cases.
The girl also told police a neighbor named Jessyca "introduced her into prostitution" and began charging men to have sex with her, according to the reports. The girl was raped by at least five men over a weekend and had been plied with alcohol and drugs, she told police.
Jessyca Hoskins, 26, was arrested in connection with recording a video of the girl having sex with a man and sending it to another person, according to her arrest report.
Hoskins has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of producing child pornography. She pleaded not guilty July 27 and has an Aug. 31 trial date. Hoskins is being held at the Washington County Jail after waiving bond.
