A trial date has been set for a Facilities Management employee.Rex Anderson is facing multiple felony counts and a jury trial has been scheduled to begin on April 22 in El Dorado County.

Anderson faces more than 20 felony counts involving lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and the possession and manufacturing of child pornography, said El Dorado County Deputy District Attorney Trish Kelliher.

Anderson entered a not guilty plea, Kelliher said.

Anderson, 49, worked for Facilities Management as a drafting technician and was taken into custody on campus in November.

Anderson was initially arrested on suspicion of statutory rape with the juvenile after the minor reported him to Child Protective Services.

Anderson’s preliminary hearing was held on Jan. 18. Anderson, a resident of Shingle Springs, is being held in the El Dorado County Jail with bail posted at $500,000.

Facilities Management declined to comment regarding Anderson’s status as an employee at Sacramento State, and a voice on his answering machine at Facilities Management said he would be out of the office for an extended period of time.
