Ian Cleary, 31, was arrested in France and extradited to Pennsylvania to face charges of sexual assault against a former Gettysburg College student in 2013. He was ordered held without bail, with prosecutors citing his lack of ties to the area and financial resources available to him through his family.
An American accused of sexually assaulting a Pennsylvania college student in 2013 and later sending her a Facebook message that said 'So I raped you' was ordered held without bail Friday during a court hearing in Pennsylvania.The appearance by Ian Cleary, 31, of Saratoga, California, came a day after he arrived back in the U.S. He was detained in April in Metz, France, after a three-year search, and a French appeals court later said he could be extradited.
Cleary was the subject of an international search after authorities in Pennsylvania issued an arrest warrant in the case in 2021, weeks after an Associated Press story detailed the reluctance of local prosecutors to pursue campus sex crimes.The warrant accused Cleary of stalking the 18-year-old Keeler at a campus party in 2013, sneaking into her dorm and sexually assaulting her while she texted friends for help. He was a 20-year-old Gettysburg student at the time but did not return to campus.
