$250K Bail For Mass. Man Captured In Oregon

WORCESTER (AP) ― A Massachusetts man captured in Oregon after he was profiled on "America's Most Wanted" has pleaded not guilty to charges he raped a 61-year-old woman more than a year ago.

Michael Bresnahan was ordered held on $250,000 cash bail Monday in Worcester Superior Court. He faces charges including six counts of aggravated rape.

Authorities say Bresnahan broke into the woman's Winchendon home in August 2007 and assaulted her at knifepoint over a two-hour period.

He then fled the state. Bresnahan was captured in Cottage Grove, Ore., in August, two days after his case was featured on television's "America's Most Wanted."

Bresnahan's attorney, Michael Hussey, said he was "fully investigating the case."
