The reality star, who has appeared in both seasons of Lifetime's "Marrying Millions," faces a maximum sentence of eight years in state prison and two-and-a-half years in the Orange County Jail.
A new warrant for his arrest has been issued from Orange County after he turned himself in to police in Highlands Park, Texas, where he's from, on July 7. He posted a $30,000 bond at the time and was released.
The release stated that Hutchinson allegedly brought two 16-year-old girls to his Laguna Beach home on two different occasions earlier this year. He's been accused of raping and committing four acts of sexual battery against her.
When the girl refused to return to Laguna Beach again, the reality star and real estate developer allegedly brought another 16-year-old girl to his vacation home and committed sexual battery against her.
