Marrying Millionsstar Bill Hutchinson has been arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage girl.
He would also “provide alcohol and allow the children [in his home] to smoke marijuana,” she alleges in the affidavit according to the outlets.

According to the affidavit, the teenager told police that, in May, she was intoxicated and fell asleep on Hutchinson’s couch and alleges that when she woke up, Hutchinson was assaulting her, the news outlets report.
Hutchinson is charged with one count of sexual assault, which is a second-degree felony in Texas, police said Thursday. He is not facing charges of assaulting a minor, because the age of consent in the state is 17.
In a statement to theDallas Morning News, the reality star said: “I’m innocent of this charge and accusation. Anyone who knows me in this city knows that I am not capable of assault, sexual or otherwise. Hopefully all of my colleagues and friends will give me the benefit of the doubt until I prove my innocence in court.”
