A Boardman man was arraigned Tuesday morning in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on two counts of rape and an attempted rape charge.

43-year-old Alexander Exline was secretly indicted by a Mahoning County Grand Jury on January 2 on allegations of rape and attempted rape that allegedly occurred on October 17, according to the indictment. The indictment alleges Exline "purposely compelled her to submit by force or threat of force."

A warrant for Exline's arrest was issued and he turned himself into the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office on Monday.

Exline has a pretrial scheduled on February 7 at 10:30 am in Judge Anthony Donofrio's courtroom and a jury trial scheduled for March 31 at 8:30 am.

His bond was set at $50,000.
