(KAIR)--A convicted Holton rapist is appealing part of his conviction.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the appeal filed on behalf of Jacob Ewing cites prosecutor misconduct and errors made by the Jackson County District Court.

Attorneys for the state have until July 5 to file a response to the appeal.

The 23-year-old Ewing was convicted last year, and sentenced to more than three decades in prison for rape and sodomy.

Ewing's conviction stemmed from crimes involving several victims.

He was acquitted on charges related to the rape and sodomy of a 13-year-old girl.
