GUILDERLAND — Christopher L. Green, a 31-year-old charged with raping a 14-year-old girl, has pleaded not guilty.

On Wednesday morning, the case was waived to the Albany County Grand Jury on Wednesday morning, when Judge John Bailey of the Guilderland Town Court found that Collin D’Arcy, an assistant district attorney for the county, had provided sufficient evidence.

Guilderland Police had charged Green, on Dec. 7, with second-degree rape and second-degree criminal sex act where the actor is over 17 and the victim is under 15, both felonies, and with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.

Green pleaded not guilty at his arraignment that evening, according to Jennifer Stephens, Clerk to the Justices.

Bailey remanded Green, who is from Hartford, Connecticut and had been staying at the Days Inn while he did construction in the area, to the custody of the Albany County Sheriff’s Office.

Sergeant Joseph Normandin of the Guilderland Police testified at the preliminary hearing Wednesday that he went to the Days Inn at 1230 Western Ave. in Guilderland in the early-morning hours of Dec. 7 and was the third officer on the scene.

The female 9-1-1 caller had said that someone had locked her out of her hotel room, Normandin testified.

When he arrived, he said, the girl was “visibly shaken up, crying”; she told another officer that she felt like she was going to throw up, he said, and then did go outside and threw up.

Normandin observed, he said on the stand, that she was “too upset for the situation,” that she was having tremors and trouble breathing.

He asked her if she had had sex and she told him yes, he said.

She explained, Normandin testified, that she had met a man on an app called “MeetMe.” He asked her to come to the Days Inn, she told Normandin. She did not want to, she told him, but the man knew where she was “because of a GPS in her Snapchat,” and he threatened “that something bad would happen unless she came.”

He led her upstairs, where he had sex with her, she told Normandin.

She told the man she did not feel safe there, and he offered to call her an Uber car. She waited downstairs for it, and it never came. She went back upstairs and knocked on the door, the officer testified, but no one answered.

Eventually she called police, Normandin said.

Her mother testified that she was born in 2003.

Normandin said that Green told police he was in town as part of a construction crew; Green was sharing the Days Inn room with a roommate, Normandin said.

Green described having anal and oral contact with the girl, Normandin testified.
