William Richey set for pre-trial

Copperopolis resident William 'Bill' Ritchey was arrested at the Calaveras County Fair 5-19-12 for rape of a drugged victim, sex with a minor 3+ years younger, oral copulation victim intoxicated, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Pre-trial on this case is set for 7-20-12.

According to the Calaveras County DA's office, William Ritchey currently has two pending cases set for pre-trial at the Calaveras County Superior Court: the sex case (with child abuse vertical prosecution) pre-trial is set for 7-20-12 and a weapons case pre-trial is set for 7-27-12.

At the last hearing the District Attorney made an offer to Richey's attorney with regards to the sex case. On 7-20-12 Richey will have a chance to accept the offer or continue with his 'not guilty' plea and go to trial.(The offer has not been publicly disclosed at this time.)
