A bond hearing has been scheduled at 4 p.m. Monday for Fernando Insaurralde Cantero, 20, Paraguay following a preliminary hearing in which Cantero pled not guilty to suspicion of rape, aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated burglary, earlier this month.

The charges stem from a incident that occurred on the Fort Hays State University campus on Sept. 20.

In the preliminary hearing the alleged victim accused Cantero of forcing sexual intercourse to occur while she was unconscious in her dorm room.

“I didn’t know him,” she said during the preliminary hearing. “I was not coherent at all.”

Another person with Cantero also testified at the preliminary hearing that the victim appeared “passed out” and was laying on her bed fully clothed when Cantero entered the room, before he left the area.

Cantero said the activity was consensual.

He has been detained at the Ellis County Jail since being arrested on Sept. 30.
