A man facing seven first-degree felony counts of rape and another seven sexual-battery counts pleaded not guilty Tuesday at his arraignment in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. He is set for a jury trial April 29, according to court filings.

Charles E. Prunier Sr., 38, of Alden Avenue, is in the county jail without bond.

U.S. Marshals arrested Prunier on Friday. A county grand jury secretly indicted him last week.
