“...CHRISTIANSBURG – Former WDBJ reporter Orlando Salinas was denied bond Monday as prosecutors accused him of raping a 64-year-old woman suffering from health issues....”
(Snip)
“...When interviewed by investigators, Salinas confirmed parts of the story, but said there had been no vaginal penetration, according to the prosecutor. He also said oral sex was consensual.
Salina’s lawyer Tyson Daniel said his client “vigorously disputes” the allegations.
Daniel argued for Salinas to be released on bond, saying the former TV personality has known he was under investigation since police executed a search warrant on his home in February. Salinas testified Monday that he had made no attempts to flee.
But Judge Marcus Long said the key difference between then and now is that Salinas has since been indicted on rape and forcible sodomy charges.
The judge denied bond, saying Salinas could pose a threat to the community because of the severity of the accusations he faces.
Salinas’ trial is scheduled for October.”
