Rusty Dale Rudd, 26, remains in jail with no bond, according to court officials.

A request for a bond reduction made on Rudd's behalf was denied by Judge Carol England in a Callaway County courtroom Friday.

Rudd has been charged with 30 counts, including those stemming from incidents in March and in 2016. In early April, the state filed two amended complaints with 14 felony offenses and 16 misdemeanor offenses.

He was initially charged after a March 23 disturbance near Portland where a victim accused Rudd of repeatedly holding her against her will, raping, choking and otherwise assaulting her. The victim also reported similar incidents last year.

Felony charges include:

One charge of first-degree kidnapping,

Three charges of second-degree rape,

Four charges of second- and third-degree domestic assault,

One charge of first-degree sodomy and

Five charges of tampering with a victim, a felony.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. May 19.
