A judge on Monday set $25,000 cash-only bail for a Portsmouth man charged with two felony counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault. Arraigned by video from the Rockingham County House of Corrections, for the pair of charges alleging rape, was Marc Donald Jean-Michel, 37. A native of Haiti, Jean-Michel was arraigned with assistance from a French translator and told the court he works in Rye as a licensed practical nurse, while living in Portsmouth with his wife and child. Judge Sawako Gardner read the charges to Jean-Michel, one of which alleges that in May he held a woman down in a car and raped her. The second charge alleges that on the same date Jean-Michel raped the woman after she said “don't” and pushed his chest with her hands. Rye Police Sgt. Scott Blaisdell told the court Jean-Michel has no criminal history and is considered a permanent American resident. But because of his ties to Haiti and the seriousness of the allegations, Blaisdell said he was seeking the $25,000 cash-only bail.
