Matthew Myron Jones, 45, appeared Thursday for his arraignment in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court, where his bond was set at $250,000. Although he has a bond, he also is being held in the jail on a detainer through the U.S. Marshals Service.

He previously was indicted for rape of a child younger than 10, court records show.

Last month, he was indicted for rape of child younger than 13 in Greene County for an act that reportedly happened between May and November 2003 in Xenia, according to court documents.

It is not clear whether the cases involve the same accuser.
