Former Idyllwild restaurateur Luis Delgado Solis, 45, had a new trial date set at his information arraignment Monday, Sept. 11. The new trial date is Tuesday, Oct. 31.

His case was dismissed in August because of the unavailability of witnesses and the Riverside County District Attorney filed a new case.

In the first case, Solis was charged with eight felony sex charges involving two minor female children beginning in August 2015 and ending Wednesday, April 26, 2023, the day before he was arrested. He pleaded not guilty to all eight felony charges.

In the second case, filed charges are seven felony sex counts to which he has pleaded not guilty. He remains in the Southwest Detention Center on $5 million bail.

He faces potential life imprisonment if found guilty.
