A hearing on reducing the bond for James Dierkes in his aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault case has been delayed.

The 29-year-old Dierkes is charged with incidents during his employment at Vandalia Community High School in 2016. Dierkes was later hired by the Illinois State Police, but was fired when the allegations surfaced.

In court Tuesday, Dierkes' defense counsel indicated information in the case is still being collected, so requested a continuance for the bond hearing, which will now take place on January 28.
