Bond Set at $1M for Sioux Falls Rape, Kidnapping Suspect

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Bond has been set at $1 million for a Sioux Falls man accused of raping a teenage girl and trying to kill her.

Forty-one-year-old Frederick McAbee appeared in court Tuesday in Pipestone, Minnesota, where he had been arrested last week. He did not enter pleas to charges including attempted murder, kidnapping and rape.

Police say a 14-year-old girl reported McAbee threatened her with a gun as they traveled in a cargo van in Sioux Falls last Thursday. Authorities say she jumped from the moving vehicle after she was raped and heard a gunshot.

McAbee hasn't responded to an Associated Press request for comment.
