A 19-year-old man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of raping a girlfriend, sexually assaulting an underage girl and possessing child pornography in Costa Mesa.

German Leonardo Valdivia was charged Monday with rape, corporal injury on a spouse-cohabitant, statutory rape, and two counts each of electronic eavesdropping and possession of child pornography, all felonies. He was also charged with a misdemeanor count of child annoyance.

Valdivia, who was ordered held on $1 million bail, was next due in court for a pretrial hearing Feb. 4 in the West Justice Center in Westminster.

An 18-year-old girlfriend, who alleged he raped her, got a restraining order against him in November for five years, according to court records.

She said in her restraining order request that Valdivia “made me have sex… by force” and hit and pulled her hair and threatened to leave her “stranded on the freeway.”

She alleged she was attacked in October in Costa Mesa in a room in his house.

She accused him of holding her down while sexually assaulting her and recorded her at the time, according to the restraining order request.

The alleged sex crime with an underage girl occurred on July 1, according to the criminal complaint.
