POST FALLS — The case of a man accused of raping his girlfriend and attacking a child has been referred to the district court for further action.

Adam K. Bortfeld, 48, of Post Falls, is charged with rape, kidnapping in the second degree and injury to a child, all felonies.

He is also charged with domestic battery in the presence of a child, a misdemeanor.

Police responded around noon on April 17 to a report of a domestic disturbance at a Post Falls residence.

At the scene, a woman who identified herself as Bortfeld’s girlfriend said she had locked herself in the garage around 9 a.m. and refused to open the door to Bortfeld.

Unable to gain entry through the door, Bortfeld allegedly crawled into the garage through the dog door.

The woman said Bortfeld took her phone, forcibly removed her clothes and raped her.

She said he then allowed her to put her clothes back on before dragging her from the garage to the bedroom.

Bortfeld forced a 13-year-old family member to go in the bedroom with them, she said.

When the teen refused to sit, Bortfeld allegedly grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the bed. The teen told police he couldn’t breathe while Bortfeld was choking him.

Bortfeld reportedly shut the woman and teen in the bedroom with him for almost three hours.

During that time, the woman said Bortfeld hit her multiple times and smoked drugs from a glass pipe.

The woman said she escaped the bedroom and fled to a neighbor’s residence. The neighbors called the police.

The teen also called 911, according to court documents, and told dispatch he thought Bortfeld had broken the woman’s wrist.

Bortfeld reportedly left the scene before police arrived.

A judge issued a warrant for Bortfeld’s arrest on April 19.

After he was taken into custody on April 30, Judge Clark Peterson ordered that he be held on $750,000 bail.

Bortfeld waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.

Two witnesses were reportedly set to testify at the hearing, including the 13-year-old boy.

Judge Robert Caldwell denied a motion to modify or dismiss the no contact order that forbids Bortfeld from contacting the woman or child.

Judge Caldwell granted a motion to lower Bortfeld’s bail to $250,000.

In Idaho, any bail amount set at more than $500,000 requires a solitary confinement designation.

Bortfeld remains in jail.
