After several attempts to get the information, Rudinski was able to glean from the woman that state trooper Brent Bobb suggested she contact Younkin by telephone and tape record the call.

"I was never told to tape record the call," the woman said. "I knew if I called, (Younkin) would say what happened."

She testified that during the phone call she asked Younkin how many times she said no' the night of the alleged rape, how he felt about the encounter and how he thought she felt about it.

His responses, if any, were not disclosed at the hearing.

Sholley asked the woman before she left the stand whether she was confused or scared.

She responded that she was, raising her shaking right hand to demonstrate her nervousness.

After Sholley amended the complaint to withdraw involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and add two other sex-related counts, Mihalik ruled there was sufficient evidence to send all the charges against Younkin, including rape, sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault, to Snyder County Court.

Younkin is free on $25,000 cash bail.
