Second man charged with having sex with a minor

A second Great Falls man has been charged with having sex last year with a 14-year-old girl who ran away from Columbia Falls.

David Cordice, 35, was charged with one count of sexual intercourse without consent after allegedly having sex with the girl on two occasions in a Great Falls motel. He faces a prison sentence of life or from 4 to 100 years and a fine up to $50,000 if convicted.

According to Cascade County District Court documents, Great Falls police responded to the Central Motel on July 28, 2011, for a report of two men threatening to assault a third man. The girl was found in a motel room with the third man, who turned out to be Cordice.

Cordice identified the two men, whom the officers located hiding in a utility closet. The two men said they had come to the motel to confront Cordice because he was having sex with the girl and knew she was a minor.
