TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) - A 32-year-old Truckee man accused of drugging a woman and raping her last fall has pleaded no contest to one charge as part of a plea deal calling for him to spend six years in prison.
The Truckee Sun reports Jame Ferrigno entered the plea March 13 to a charge of rape by use of a drug or intoxicating substance. Sentencing is set for May 8 in Nevada County Superior Court.
Truckee police arrested him in October after a woman who was renting space in the same home as Ferrigno reported she set up a hidden camera in the kitchen after suspecting him of drugging her three or four times over two months.
