A Viola man facing two felony sexual abuse counts returns to court later this month.
33-year-old Gregory Wilson appeared in Mercer County Circuit Court on Monday, where a pretrial conference was continued to April 20. The delay was attributed to the defense.
Wilson was arrested in September 2024 following an investigation by the Mercer County Sheriff’s Department. He’s charged with two Class 2 felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.
Wilson was originally granted pretrial release with home detention in 2024, but was taken into custody in August 2025 after the prosecution filed a petition to revoke his pretrial release. He’s currently in custody at the Mercer County Jail.
