YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — A Goldendale judge will oversee the trial of a Yakima County sheriff’s deputy accused of raping a woman in her Selah home.
Judge Brian Altman was picked after eight Yakima County Superior Court judges declined to take case. He’s a judge with the Klickitat-Skamania County Superior Court.
Sean Moore is accused of raping a woman in October, as well as assaulting her and threatening her male friend at gunpoint. The 37-year-old remains in the Kittitas County jail in Ellensburg on $500,000 bail.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports his trial is set for March.
