HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A former Hutchinson Community College student who entered a plea in a sexual battery and kidnapping case will face a preliminary hearing after he was allowed to withdraw his plea.

Victor Pedraza Jr. will now face all of the original charges, including three counts of rape and other charges, which were dismissed as part of a plea agreement. A conviction could see the 21-year-old serve significant time in prison compared to what was under the plea agreement.

The state notified the court and the defendant that there will be no additional offers made in the case.

Pedraza is accused in the beating of a college student from Japan he had been dating off and on. He then set her passport and documents on fire. Police say the victim was tied to a bed and beaten, then forced into sex three times. The state entered the agreement so the victim would not have to come back to the U.S. to testify.

Reno County District Judge Joe McCarville set a preliminary hearing date for Oct. 24.
