A 15-year-old girl said that when she had voluntary sex with an 18-year-old man this summer in Lawrence, it caused a disturbing flashback.

She suddenly remembered that, about two weeks earlier — after she had drunk grain alcohol and smoked marijuana — the same man had forced himself on her at his apartment and sodomized her.

“I started seeing everything again, like in slow motion,” she testified Tuesday after taking the stand at the man’s preliminary hearing in Douglas County District Court.

At the end of the hearing, Judge Robert Fairchild ordered the man to stand trial for aggravated criminal sodomy, criminal sodomy, as well as “unlawful voluntary sexual relations,” a charge stemming from the alleged voluntary intercourse.

The alleged attack happened in June or July, after the defendant and the girl were introduced through a mutual friend, she testified. In August, she moved away from Lawrence.

It wasn’t until November — after she was hospitalized for cutting her wrists with a razor and was sedated to help stop a panic attack — that she told a family member about what happened. Her mother then called Lawrence Police, who traveled to interview her.

The girl’s delayed recollection of the incident isn’t the only evidence it happened.

The man said in an interview with police that he sodomized the girl, Lawrence Police Officer Tyson Randall testified Tuesday. He told police he remembered the girl saying “no” twice, but said he thought he was able to talk her into the act, Randall testified.

Asked by prosecutor Trent Krug whether the sex act was consensual, the girl looked at the defendant in the courtroom and said, “Not at all.”

Fairchild scheduled a jury trial for March 10 and said he anticipated that defense attorney Jim George would file a motion to suppress the man’s statement to police.

The defense presented no evidence at Tuesday’s hearing.

The Journal-World normally does not identify suspects in sex crimes unless they are convicted. The paper does not identify victims of sex crimes.
