HSU student arraigned for forcible rape

Today, Andrew Stone was arraigned for jury trial in Courtroom 5 for one count of Forcible Rape only against one victim. If he is found guilty, the sentencing range is three, six or eight years in state prison. It is considered a violent felony under California law, so it is a "strike" under the Three Strikes law and the defendant would have to serve 85% of any prison sentence imposed before becoming eligible for parole.

Stone was held to answer to Count 1 and 3. Stone was not held to answer on the special allegations l. Judge Feeney said that that in the probable cause hearing, the People had met their burden of proof and reasonable guilt was shown.
