A circuit judge set trial for an 81-year-old registered sex offender accused of sexually assaulting a minor.

Rudolph Orlando, also known as Rudolph Orlanda and Maestro, appeared in a wheelchair before Judge Colette Garibaldi via closed-circuit video link from the Oahu Community Correctional Center on Monday after an Oahu grand jury recently returned an indictment charging him with two counts of first-degree sex assault involving a minor who was at least 14 years old but younger than 16 at the time of the alleged assaults.

He was also charged with three counts of third-degree sex assault.

Deputy Public Defender Sat Freedman entered a not-guilty plea to the charges.

Garibaldi confirmed Orlando’s aggregate bail at $500,000 and set his trial for February.

The alleged assaults occurred between February 2014 and May 2017.

Court records show he has a criminal history of sex assault.

Orlando was indicted in 1983 with two counts of second-degree rape, two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and one count of second-degree sodomy involving two girls younger than 14.

He was sentenced in 1984 to three 10-year prison terms after being convicted of two counts of rape and one count of sodomy. The terms ran concurrently.

Orlando was released on parole in 1988, according to Toni Schwartz, spokeswoman of the state Department of Public Safety.

Four years later a grand jury returned an indictment against Orlando again charging him with 17 counts of first-degree sex assault and four counts of third-degree sex assault involving two women.

Judge Michael Town sentenced him in 1993 to two consecutive 10-year terms under a plea agreement after he was convicted of two counts of second-degree sexual assault.

He was paroled in March 2011 and remained on parole until he was discharged in March 2013.

Orlando is registered as a sex offender under the Hawaii Sex Offender Registry.
