(Richmond, IN)--The man accused of trying to rape a 16-year-old girl on the Cardinal-Greenway trail in Richmond has made his first appearance in court.  37-year-old Billy Wallace remains charged with rape and strangulation.  On Friday, he appeared in Wayne Circuit Court.  Wallace was declared indigent and a public defender was appointed to the case.   According to court documents, Wallace came up behind a girl walking on the trail, put a towel around her mouth, and dragged her into the woods.  Wallace said that he had no recollection of the incident because he was high on drugs.  A trial date was set on Friday for September 29, although that will almost certainly be pushed back.
