Bail was set Tuesday at $100,000 for a Richland man accused of kidnapping and sexually assaulting a 19-year-old Pasco woman.

Jonathan Keenan Gordon, 31, pleaded innocent to first-degree rape and second-degree assault with sexual motivation. His trial is Feb. 22.

She told Franklin County sheriff's deputies that Gordon and another man took her to a Pasco apartment, where Gordon raped her while being held down by the second man, documents said.

Charges were dismissed against the second man in November but could be refiled.
