Alleged Rape Victim to Remain Jailed Before Attacker's Trial A judge ordered that a 17-year-old alleged rape victim continue to be held in a juvenile detention center while the option of fitting her with a GPS monitoring device is being investigated. The unidentified girl has been at the Sacramento County Youth Detention Facility for nearly two weeks. A judge ordered the girl to be locked up on a material witness warrant in order to ensure she will appear in court for her alleged rapist's trial. "I can't tell you how terribly sorry I am you're in the circumstance you're in," Judge Lawrence G. Brown told the girl, who stood inside of a courtroom cage, the Sacramento Bee reported. Brown told the girl he needed "to have every confidence you would in fact make your court appearances." The alleged victim did not show up at a preliminary hearing for Frank William Rackley or at the Feb. 28 trial, causing prosecutors to re-file the case and set an April 23 trial date. The ex-convict has a criminal history in the area dating back to 1992, including a previous arrest for rape. Those charges were dropped, according to court documents. The girl's next hearing was moved up to April 16 while authorities consider whether she can be released under the alternative scenarios proposed by her lawyer.
