A 42-year-old Hutchinson man arrested for an alleged raping of a 27-year-old Hutchinson woman was found competent for the case to continue and was in court Thursday morning where he entered a guilty plea to an amended charge.
Larry Frye Jr. enter the plea to attempted rape as part of a plea agreement with the state. That will cut any sentence given to less than half of what he would have received, even if he’s given the maximum.
He was accused of raping the woman on New Years Day at a home here in Hutchinson. The case starts with the victim going to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment after the the incident and hospital officials contacted police. The victim didn’t know Frye with her room-mate apparently bringing him to the home. It was early morning on New Years Day when the alleged encounter occurred.
With him entering the plea to attempted rape, sentencing will be on September 27, in front of Judge Joe McCarville.
