An 18-year-old man accused of sexually assaulting a child was charged with two counts of rape in Ford County Court on Tuesday.
Mario Chicaj-Solis was arrested and booked into Ford County jail on Saturday on two counts of rape.
The Dodge City Police Department wouldn't comment on the case except to say Chicaj-Solis was arrested for unlawful sexual relations with a juvenile.
If convicted, Chicaj-Solis could face life imprisonment for each count, and a fine of up to $300,000.
Magistrate Judge Michael Freelove appointed attorney Steven Cott to represent Chicaj-Solis and set his bond at $75,000.
Deputy Ford County Attorney David Belling said given the seriousness of the crime, the bond should be more than $75,000. Freelove disagreed, and said the amount was sufficient.
Chicaj-Solis' next court appearance will be at 1 p.m. Sept. 16.
