Wasn’t this guy due in court today? Any word on proceedings?

BOONVILLE - Boonville football standout and 5-star recruit D.J. Wesolak appeared in Cooper County Court Tuesday for an arraignment.
Wesolak is charged with fourth degree assault, which is a misdemeanor, and first degree harassment, which is a felony. KOMU 8 Sports first reported on the charges Oct. 7.
The recently released probable cause statement and criminal complaint both allege Wesolak forced himself onto a girl at a party in March 2021. According to both documents, Wesolak allegedly grabbed the victim by the neck and forced her to kiss him. The victim pushed him off of her.
The judge did not ask Wesolak how he pleads, but the judge and lawyers agreed on a preliminary hearing for Dec. 14.
A preliminary hearing is used in felony cases to decide if there is enough evidence for the charge to go to trial.
Doesn't sound great. I assume the kiss is the harassment felony and the neck grab is the fourth-degree assault misdemeanor.
