( CNN ) -- A Buffalo , New York , man is due in court Thursday to face charges that he raped a 13-year-old runaway police say he held prisoner in his home for six months . Michael J. Abdallah , 26 , has pleaded not guilty to second-degree rape , unlawful imprisonment and custodial interference . Thursday 's hearing will determine if the case should be referred to a grand jury . Buffalo police said that Abdallah kept the girl in his home from July through December 2009 , behind dead-bolt locks and doors with no doorknobs . A criminal complaint alleges that Abdallah had sex with her more than 100 times . Police spokesman Michael DeGeorge said Abdallah also forced the girl to baby-sit his year-old son . Abdallah is unmarried , and the identity of the child 's mother is not known . Police would not say how the girl left Adbdallah 's home , why there was a delay from December to February for his arrest or where the teenager is now . Abdallah was arrested Friday when police raided his home on a child-abuse allegation , Buffalo media reported . The next day , Buffalo City Court Judge James A.W . McLeod set bond at $ 250,000 in an arraignment at which Abdallah represented himself . He has since been provided with a court-appointed attorney , according to media reports . But friends of the defendant told the Buffalo News that he was nothing more than a Good Samaritan trying to help a runaway girl he met in a Buffalo park . `` Everybody has had their moments , but Mike is not a monster . As long as I 've known Mike , he 's always been kindhearted to me . If he could help you , he will help you , '' Alicia Bellaus , 20 , who grew up next door to Abdallah 's relatives , told the paper . `` Mike always had her calling to someone , supposedly her aunt , to say she was doing OK. From what I knew , her aunt or her mom knew where she was staying , '' said Bellaus , who previously had a romantic relationship with Abdallah . `` To look at her , she is very developed physically , and you would think that she is older than 13 . '' Bellaus said the girl told her she was 17 or 18 and denied having sex with Abdallah , and that she also said she did not want to go home to her mother , the News said . Police told the News that the family filed several missing person reports after the girl disappeared in July . And an unnamed law enforcement official told the paper that Abdallah was a manipulative drug dealer who `` lured her in '' and kept her trapped physically and psychologically . CNN , however , could not confirm that official 's view . George Kimble , who lives four doors from Abdallah , said he was surprised when he learned about the accusations . `` This is a street where everyone knows everyone , '' said Kimble , who remembered Abdallah moving in about a year-and-a-half ago . `` I never recall him with a 13-year-old girl . '' Kimble said Abdallah was seldom home , and their brief conversations were limited to Abdallah 's two dogs . Other neighbors told Kimble the house had a steady stream of visitors on any given day .
