Marrying Millions star Bill Hutchinson has been released on $30K bond after being arrested in Texas on Tuesday for sexual assault against a 17-year-old girl, but he is now facing new allegations in California.
The 63-year-old reality star allegedly molested the high schooler after she passed out on the couch inside his Highland Park home in Dallas County sometime in May – according to TMZ.
He also been accused of sexually assaulting two 16-year-old girls in California during a Laguna Beach vacation in April but as of July 9 Hutchinson and his lawyer are denying all the allegations.
There is now an active arrest warrant for him in Orange County after one of the victims alleged he raped her while she was ‘unconscious’ and he has been accused of committing four counts of sexual battery.

Hutchinson’s lawyer Dan Hagood told TMZ that both the Texas accuser and one of the California accusers are the same person.
Regarding the April Laguna Beach incident, he has now been accused of ‘raping one of the 16-year-old girls while she was unconscious and committing four acts of sexual battery against the girl.’
Prosecutors say that if he is convicted he will face a maximum sentence of 8 years in state prison and 2.5 years in Orange County jail.
He however, will not face charges for assaulting a minor because the age of consent is 17 in Texas.
His camp has maintained that she is telling a ‘fantastical’ story, in the hopes of profiting off his multi-million dollar fortune.

Bill got engaged to Brianna ‘Bri’ Ramirez during season two of the Lifetime show Marrying Millions and as recent as April 14, Hutchinson’s 23-year-old fiancée gushed about him.
‘Thank you for being there for me when life takes unexpected turns. Thank you for giving me a chance to regroup.’
He famously met her when she was 21 and working at a Dallas restaurant as a hostess.
Bri is younger than the Detroit-born businessman’s three daughters – Holly, 32; Rachel, 30; and Tess, 28 – from his first marriage to Kathleen.
Bill also has two younger children – Annebelle, 16; and King, 11 – from his second marriage to Kandis.

‘Now is the perfect time’: On June 11, Dunhill Partners announced that Andy Crosland would take over as president of his real estate company with Hutchinson remaining on as chairman of the board
On June 11, Dunhill Partners announced that Andy Crosland would take over as president of his real estate company with Hutchinson remaining on as chairman of the board.
‘I am happy to pass the torch to Andy, who is a born leader with the talent to back it up,’ the Southern Methodist University grad said in a statement.
‘He and I have talked about making this move for the past couple of years, and now is the perfect time.’
And last September, Bill placed his 12K-square-foot, six-bedroom Miami waterfront mansion on the market for $8.25M – according to People.
It’s doubtful Hutchinson will ever return to Marrying Millions, especially since Lifetime has yet to renew the show for a third season.
