The preliminary hearing for an accused rapist and molester has been re-set for August 27 in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw. A $170,000 bond was also set at the hearing held on July 30 for Troy L. Sands, 32, of Gore. Sands was charged June 12 with 11 counts of first-degree rape of a victim under the age of 14, and six counts of lewd molestation. The charges involve two girls, sisters, who Sands allegedly began raping and molesting when they were six and seven years old. According to information filed with the charges, Sands allegedly forced the two girls to have sex with him on numerous occasions between 2008 and 2010, beginning when the youngest girl was six and her sister seven. The allegations came to light when the girls' mother reported them to Muldrow police in March. By Sally Maxwell, Senior News Director
