An Alstead, New Hampshire man’s trial for alleged sexual assault has been scheduled for April, reports Sentinel Source.
32-year-old JD Crawford is alleged to have raped a teenage girl and breaking her jaw last spring. He then threatened her with retribution if she spoke to police. When officers attempted to arrest him and his wife in January, he fled, leading to a six-hour manhunt. Jury selection for the case has been set for April 13.
Crawford will be attempting to represent himself in court, against many’s assertions that it carries risk.
