MONROE - A Monroe man remains free on a $5,000 signature bond after he made his initial appearance Wednesday in Green County circuit court for sexual assault charges.

Brandon S. Richardson, 19, is charged with child enticement, a class D felony, intimidation of a victim, a class G felony, and sexual intercourse with a child, a class A misdemeanor. He faces more than 35 years in prison and up to $135,000 in fines, if convicted.

Court records allege he had sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old girl in the stairway of an apartment building July 28 in Monroe. He later threatened to hurt her if she told anyone.

His preliminary hearing is Aug. 16.
