Last month, a Morgan County judge raised the bond in Fortinberry’s case from $20,000 to $160,000.
Deputy prosecutor Michelle Armstrong said the bond increase was necessary because Fortinberry has allegedly made statements in jail about changing her name, running away to Georgia, and she now knows exactly which victims have spoken out.
A pre-trial conference is set for 2 p.m. Thursday Aug. 14.
A trial date has not yet been set.
Nicholas Fortinberry is set to go on trial Wednesday Jul. 9.
