A Flathead Valley man accused of raping a minor repeatedly over several years is back behind bars after failing to show up for scheduled court appearances.
Edward Clay Curtis, 57, is expected to appear before Judge Amy Eddy in Flathead County District Court on Thursday for a status hearing in his rape case and be arraigned on a separate felony bail jumping charge. He picked up the latter case after allegedly skipping out on a Sept. 25 pretrial conference.
Curtis returned to Flathead County on Nov. 27 by way of the Yellowstone County Detention Center, according to court and jail records. He is being held in the county jail with bail set at $225,000.
