Kidnapping/rape suspects set for trial

Darrion Mulka, 28, was indicted by a Washoe County grand jury on two counts of robbery with use of a firearm in the Nov. 21 attack.

The trial date was set Wednesday by Washoe District Judge Steven Kosach.

A codefendant, William Jorgensen, 38, was indicted on those charges plus two counts of kidnapping and four counts of sexual assault.

Jorgensen's arraignment was postponed until next week.

The two men are accused of approaching a couple sitting in their car at Rah-Rah Park in Sparks and robbing them at gunpoint.

Jorgensen then allegedly got in the car and ordered the 18-year-old woman to drive. Her boyfriend was then dropped off and the woman was taken to a remote place near Lockwood and sexually assaulted.
