An American accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 and later sending her a Facebook message that said "So I raped you" was ordered held without bail Friday during a court hearing in Pennsylvania.
The appearance by Ian Cleary, 31, of Saratoga, California, came a day after he arrived back in the U.S. He was detained in April in Metz, France, after a three-year search, and a French appeals court later said he could be extradited. He appeared by video and without a lawyer at the preliminary arraignment.
District Judge Tony J. Little in East Berlin made the detainment decision, citing a request by the Adams County District Attorney's Office, which argued that Cleary had no ties to the area and had been in France with no work or permanent address. Prosecutors also noted that financial resources were available to him through his family.
