WARREN — A Trumbull County judge set bond at $250,000 this morning for David I. Griffin, 47, of North Mecca Street, Cortland, after Griffin was indicted on four counts of rape, including one that could result in a life prison sentence.

Griffin is accused of engaging in sexual conduct with a 12-year-old girl by force or threat of threat force in 2007 and committing other offenses against her as recently as 2013, according to the indictment.

Griffin pleaded not guilty in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court before Judge Peter Kontos.

The offenses are alleged to have taken place in Cortland and Warren. In addition to rape, Griffin faces three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, four counts of sexual battery and one count of gross sexual imposition.
