Keadle Sentenced in Dodge County Court
04/25/2012

FREMONT, Neb. (AP) - A South Carolina man convicted of sexually
assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Fremont in 2008 has been sentenced
to 15 to 20 years in prison.
     Thirty-year-old Joshua Keadle, of Swansea, S.C. was sentenced
for first-degree sexual assault on Tuesday in Dodge County District
Court. A jury last month rejected Keadle's impotence defense and
found him guilty of assaulting the girl in a college residence
hall.
     Keadle sought a new trial, which the judge rejected on Tuesday.
     Keadle was a student at what was then Midland Lutheran College.
His accuser, now 18, didn't report the crime until 2011, after
Keadle was questioned in the disappearance of a Peru State College
student, Tyler Thomas, in December 2010. No charges have been filed
against Keadle in that case.
