Rapp stays jailed as judge reviews hearing transcript

Youngstown

Judge Maureen A. Sweeney will review the transcript of Trent Rapp’s probation violation hearing to determine a proper sentence.

Rapp, 44, of Beaver Township, was found Friday to be in violation of his probation by way of face-to-face contact with a victim in his criminal case.

During his May 30 sentencing, Judge Sweeney, of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, ordered Rapp be placed on five years reporting probation during which he was to register as a Tier 1 sex offender and have no contact with the victim in the case.

Rapp was convicted of of marijuana trafficking, cocaine possession, corrupting another with drugs, possessing criminal tools, illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material and two counts of pandering sexually oriented material.

Judge Sweeney said she will set a date for sentencing after reviewing the hearing’s transcript. Rapp remains in Mahoning County jail without bond, where he’s been since he was arrested for the violation on July 27.
