Palmer has pleaded not guilty to those charges.

Court documents say that in September 2024, Palmer traveled from Jonesville, La., to Paris, Ark., to meet with a teenager he had spoken with over Snapchat.

Court proceedings have been delayed six times since the original trial date of Jan. 24, as Palmer’s counsel called for additional time to prepare.
