Plea postponed for North Las Vegas man in kidnap-child sex case

A plea has been postponed for a 26-year-old Nevada man who is expected to plead guilty to abducting and raping teenage girls, including some he kept as sex slaves.

Prosecutor Stacey Kollins says Jimmy Carter Kim's scheduled Thursday plea was reset for March 23 in Clark County District Court.

Kim told a judge last week he'll plead guilty to one sex assault and three sexual assault of a minor under 16 charges.

Seventy-nine other charges were dismissed, including kidnapping, lewdness, attempted sex assault and using a minor in producing pornography.

The plea deal calls for Kim to be sentenced to 35 years to life in prison.

The case came to light after a 14-year-old Arizona girl told police in December she'd been held captive for a month at Kim's home.
