The trial of Steve Frank Tedesco, the ex-Cranberry ambulance director accused of raping an unconscious 19-year-old man, has been delayed until 9 a.m. March 19.

Michael Jewart of Zunder and Associates in Butler, the law firm representing Tedesco, filed for the continuance. The trial originally was set for today.

The case will be tried in the courtroom of Judge Timothy McCune in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas.

Tedesco, 30, of Cranberry, is charged with raping and sexually assaulting a 19-year-old Evans City man who fell asleep at an Evans City house party last March. Tedesco also is charged with indecent assault, indecent assault of an unconscious person, and with providing alcohol to that 19-year-old and two other minors.

Tedesco is the former executive director of the Cranberry Township Emergency Medical Services. He was suspended without pay following the arrest by Evans City Police and then fired. The Cranberry Township Volunteer Fire Company also suspended him from the department.
