Attorneys for a Marin City man accused of raping a San Rafael teenager asked a Marin Superior Court judge for more time in the case against Leroy Anthony Clark, 33, during a hearing on Wednesday.
Judge Terrence Boren agreed to move Clark's entry-of-plea hearing to 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 17, according to Murat Ozgur, deputy Marin district attorney.
Clark was arrested by San Rafael Police on Friday after an 18-year-old victim reported the sexual assault at about 11 p.m. Thursday. She said she had gone to an auto detail shop on Irwin Street and was there alone when she was attacked, said Margo Rohrbacher, spokeswoman for San Rafael Police.
