SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The case against a former Sacramento police officer accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting an elderly woman while off duty is headed to trial.
The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/19eHsiy) Gary Dale Baker will be arraigned Oct. 17.
Superior Court Judge Patrick Marlette ordered the trial following a preliminary hearing that took eight court days.
The 50-year-old Baker was arrested in December on suspicion of rape, forcible oral copulation and other charges in the assault of the stroke-impaired woman in her 70s.
Baker also faces burglary-related charges that could bring him a life term if he is convicted.
Detectives recognized the suspect as Baker after reviewing footage from a surveillance camera the alleged victim's family installed after she told them of the assault.
