(KNZA)--A Horton man convicted of rape and aggravated kidnapping has been sentenced to ten years in prison.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 21-year-old Matthew Harris was handed the sentence Monday in Brown County District Court.
Following his release from prision, Hill said Harris will be placed on lifetime post-release supervision and be required to register as a sex offender for life.
He pleaded no contest to the charges in July. In exchange for the plea, three additional counts were dismissed.
The charges arose from a violent incident that took place in the city of Horton in August 2023 that involved an 18-year-old victim.
