A 29-year-old Pasco man faces a Nov. 30 trial on allegations he kidnapped and sexually assaulted a Pasco woman in May.

Nathan William Murphy pleaded innocent Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court to first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping with sexual motivation and second-degree assault with sexual motivation.

The 19-year-old woman reported the incident to Franklin County sheriff's deputies on May 14, court documents said.

She said that four days earlier, she was taken to a Pasco apartment against her will by Murphy and another man, then forcibly raped by the second man several times while Murphy held her down, documents said.

The woman said Murphy also sexually assaulted her, documents said.

A knife was on the night stand in the room and the woman told investigators that she feared they would use the knife on her if she fought back, documents said.

Deputy Prosecutor Maureen Lorincz requested Murphy's bail remain at $25,000, saying that while Murphy has no known criminal history, the allegations against him are very serious.

Defense attorney Karla Kane said she understood her client is facing serious charges,"but at this time they are just allegations."

Murphy asked Judge Cameron Mitchell if there was anything "I can say on my behalf."

But Mitchell said $25,000 is "actually a minimal amount considering the allegations."
