A Pennsylvania man charged with 150 counts of rape involving one juvenile over a nine-year period made his first appearance in a Kansas courtroom this week.
Eric Millsap, 44, was ordered held in lieu of $1.5 million bond by Dickinson County Magistrate Judge Keith Collett. His next appearance is scheduled for Sept. 10.
Millsap was arrested May 31 at his home in McKeesport, Pa., by local police and detectives with the Abilene (Kan.) Police Department. He had requested formal extradition and did not arrive back in Abilene until Monday.
