Aaron von Ehlinger, the former Idaho state representative facing a rape charge, has been arrested in Georgia.
Von Ehlinger was arrested around 11:30 p.m. Saturday in Georgia and booked into the Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro, south of Atlanta.
Jail records indicate he is being held on a fugitive from justice charge.
The Idaho Statesman reports, the former state representative, who resigned in April, faces two felony charges in Ada County’s 4th District Court — rape and sexual penetration with a foreign object.
Von Ehlinger had a warrant issued for his arrest on those charges on Sept. 9. after being accused of sexually assaulting a legislative intern in March.
Von Ehlinger has denied any wrongdoing and said the actions between him and the woman were consensual.
