His bond was set at $2 million cash only and if released he must wear a steel GPS tether and have no contact with the victim, prosecutors said. 

Farish is being referred to Community Corrections for a mental health evaluation, officials said. 

A probable cause hearing is scheduled for Jan. 25 and a preliminary exam is scheduled for Feb. 1.
