Clement then punched the victim in the head and threatened him with a knife.

Natrona County Circuit Court Judge Brian Christensen set Sanders's bond at $100,000 cash only during last week's initial appearance.

The victim agreed to go back to Clement's residence for a drink.

According to charging papers, the victim encountered Clement in the early morning hours of Feb. 1 at a local restaurant where Clement worked.

The prosecution and defense gave their closing arguments Wednesday morning before the judge handed the case to the jury.

The trial resumes at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Natrona County District Attorney Mike Blonigen said changing the trial venue wouldn't matter because the public about Tony Cercy's sex assault trial has been statewide.

The two men knew each other from when they were incarcerated at the Natrona County Juvenile Detention Center.

Tony Cercy's attorneys said the search warrant for his cell phone was too broad and did not limit what the prosecution was seeking.
