The trial of a Chesapeake man accused of multiple sex crimes is set to begin on Nov. 7.

Franklin Woods, 34, of 227 Township Road 130A, appeared Wednesday for a hearing in Lawrence County Common Pleas Judge Charles Cooper’s courtroom at which time he rejected a plea deal.

Woods was offered a sentence of 25 years to life in prison.

The man was indicted in February on five counts of first-degree rape, four counts of fourth-degree gross sexual imposition, four counts of third-degree sexual imposition, three counts of second-degree sexual battery and one count of third-degree sexual battery. According to each charge in the indictment, there was only one victim and the crimes allegedly occurred from August 2010 through as late as Nov. 16. 2015. Several of the charges listed the victim as less than 13 years old.

The maximum penalty Woods faces if convicted at trial is life in prison without parole. The trial is scheduled to run Nov. 7-10.
