He was charged after allegedly having sexual intercourse with the 13-year-old in the basement of a Lake Mills home.

As of Thursday morning, his next court appearance had not been set.

The state of Iowa issued a nationwide warrant for his arrest April 1, after he reportedly fled from the state.

Kujak waived extradition to Winnebago County earlier this month in Freeborn County District Court.

If convicted on three counts of third-degree sexual abuse, Kujak faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison and a $30,000 fine.
