On August 13, a Chautauqua County Grand Jury warrant was signed charging Lucignano with Rape in the First Degree and Rape in the Third Degree.
Lucignano was taken into custody the same day and transported to the Chautauqua County Jail for CAP arraignment.
He is scheduled to answer the charges in Chautauqua County Court.
The allegations are pending in court, and a criminal charge is not a finding of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
