A judge has set a trial date for a Bowling Green man jailed since 2020 who is alleged to have sexually abused and impregnated a juvenile.

Orlando Bejarando-Diaz, 38, appeared Monday in Warren Circuit Court for a pretrial conference in a case in which he is charged with six counts of first-degree rape and one count each of incest and tampering with physical evidence.

Bejarando-Diaz was arrested March 25, 2020, by the Bowling Green Police Department, which investigated allegations of illegal sexual contact with a then-12-year-old girl.

Attorney James Rhorer of the Department of Public Advocacy, representing Bejarando-Diaz, requested a trial date at Monday’s hearing.

Rhorer said that the Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office has made a plea offer that would recommend a 50-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea from Bejarando-Diaz.

Rhorer said his client is not willing to accept the offer, but does not want to take the case to trial, either, and he wants to meet with his client to discuss a possible counteroffer.

Warren Circuit Judge John Grise set a jury trial for June 12, with the anticipation that the trial would take three days to complete.

BGPD began its investigation after a 12-year-old was brought to The Medical Center on March 3, 2020, by Bejarando-Diaz.

According to court records, a nurse at the hospital reported to police that the girl was several weeks’ pregnant, and hospital staff learned the girl was from Honduras, spoke little English and had been in the U.S. for about nine months.

The juvenile initially refused to speak with police, and Bejarando-Diaz denied knowledge of the pregnancy, records show.

After being taken into protective custody, the girl was interviewed at the Barren River Child Advocacy Center, where she refused to give any information. She was introduced to a therapist, and a follow-up appointment was scheduled March 9, 2020, according to police records.

During the meeting with the therapist, the child disclosed that Bejarando-Diaz had hurt her and she had delivered a baby at home, an arrest citation said.

Authorities allege that the baby was delivered stillborn and that Bejarando-Diaz disposed of the fetus.

Another interview was scheduled for later that month, and the juvenile claimed she had been raped repeatedly by Bejarando-Diaz over the last several months and was impregnated by him, according to an arrest citation.

Bejarando-Diaz, who made no statements to police at the time of his arrest, is jailed under a $50,000 cash bond.

Bejarando-Diaz underwent a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, which culminated in a finding in October by Grise that he was competent to stand trial.
