An Auburn man arrested on a rape charge is scheduled to be sentenced next week.

After receiving necessary DNA test results from a report taken in February 2009, Auburn Police officers arrested Sean Michael McHugh, 23, in early July for allegedly raping a minor.

On Sept. 1 McHugh pleaded no contest to unlawful intercourse with a minor, a felony, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a misdemeanor, according to Art Campos, spokesman for the Placer County District Attorney’s Office.

McHugh is scheduled to be sentenced at 1 p.m. Sept. 15 in Auburn’s Placer County Jail courtroom.

“He is looking at four years of formal probation and 210 days in the county jail,” Campos said.

Campos said McHugh is ineligible for alternative sentencing that would allow him to serve the time outside of jail.

McHugh was involved in two other court cases in 2006 in which he allegedly unlawfully took and drove a 2003 Nissan Maxima, unlawfully took and drove a 2005 Honda and received a stolen Nikon camera, felonies. Misdemeanor charges included petty theft of a Sony Cybershot Camera and possession of marijuana, according to court documents.

According to court documents, he was sentenced to 180 days in Placer County Jail, three years probation and restitution charges after pleading no contest to one felony and two misdemeanor charges from both cases.

The sentencing included the possibility of McHugh’s probation being terminated if he completed 18 months of probation successfully, documents state.

Judge Colleen Nichols terminated McHugh’s probation in August 2008.

McHugh is being held in Placer County Jail and is ineligible for bail.
