A Ridgefield man previously convicted of raping a young girl made a first court appearance Monday in a new child molestation case.
Juan Gabriel Fregoso Uribe, 45, appeared in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of two counts of first-degree child molestation, as well as indecent liberties with forcible compulsion. His bail was set at $150,000 by Judge Daniel Stahnke.
The victim in the new case was interviewed in January after her mother reported the crimes. The girl, 11, said Fregoso Uribe forced her to touch him inappropriately on multiple occasions in 2016 while they were at his house, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
“He told me, ‘Don’t tell no one or I will go to jail,’ ” the girl told investigators, according to the affidavit.
