The trial for Nathaniel Kibby, who allegedly kidnapped and sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl for nine months, is set to begin next year, according to court documents released on Monday.

Jury selection will start on March 21, 2016, according to the documents. Kibby, 34, of Gorham, New Hampshire, is accused of abducting the girl in October 2013. She allegedly escaped last July, and Kibby was arrested shortly thereafter. In December, he was indicted on over 200 charges. Prosecutors alleged that Kibby kept the girl in a storage container, where he repeatedly sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her and her family, among numerous other offenses.
