(KAIR)--An Atchison man convicted of violently attacking a woman in May of last year inside the residence they once shared has been sentenced to more than 45 years in prison.

Atchison County Attorney Sherri Baker, in a news release, said 44-year-old Richard Butler was sentenced Thursday in Atchison County District Court on 15 counts.

An Atchison County jury found him guilty of the charges in March following a 4-day trial.

Some of the most serious offenses included three counts of rape, two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy and aggravated kidnapping.

Butler was originally scheduled to be sentenced in April, but it was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The case was investigated by the Atchison Police Department, Stormont-Vail sexual assault division and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
