Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky

Help

My brother was charged with Rape and has been held in a Kentucky jail since Aug 27 2000.He has not had a preliminary hearing.Every time a date is set for some reason it is always continued.Is there not some law that requires a hearing to be held within so many days? He is innocent and they do not have any evidence

to charge him with this crime.He had lived with this woman for approx.2 years.
