BEDFORD COUNTY: Man Faces Trial for Rape Charge

March 22, 2010

A Bedford County Judge has set a new trial date for a Bedford County man charged with kidnapping and rape in 2002.

James Lynne Stewart, age 52, was charged with aggravated rape, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated assault, and theft of over $500 in 2002, after he allegedly raped a woman in her vehicle on Aug. 16, 2002, in Bedford County. Stewart was scheduled to stand trial last December, but the case was continued in order for DNA testing to be done on an article of evidence. The new trial date is scheduled for May 24th.

Stewart is being held in the Bedford County Jail on $190,000 bond.
