A 27-year-old Hutchinson man arrested back in May on a charge of rape can add two more felonies to the long list he was already facing.

After the preliminary hearing Thursday morning, the state added charges of auto burglary and aggravated sexual battery against Craig Lee Gooch.

He has been jailed on a half million dollar bond charged with rape, aggravated kidnapping, two alternate theories or counts of aggravated robbery, another count of aggravated sexual battery, aggravated burglary, aggravated intimidation of victim or witness, criminal threat and interference with law enforcement.

The case started early in the day back on Friday May 11 when officers of the Hutchinson Police Department were dispatched to the 300 block of East 6th for a report of a possible abduction of a Hutchinson woman. The initial investigation revealed that Gooch had kidnapped the woman, then sexually assaulted her, then left on foot. But, less then an hour later, he was located at a residence in the 700 block of East 3rd.

He has just been released from prison back in January for convictions of attempted aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary out of Leavenworth County.

With him being bound over for trial, he faces arraignment on the charges on August 6.
