(KNZA)--A Holton man already sentenced to nearly three decades behind bars after being convicted of sexually assaulting two women has accepted a plea deal in the two remaining cases against him.

During a hearing Friday in Jackson County District Court, the Topeka Capital Journal reports 22-year-old Jacob Ewing entered an Alford plea to a charge of attempted rape and no contest plea to one count of sexual exploitation of a child.

In an Alford plea, the criminal defendant does not admit the act, but admits that the prosecution could likely prove the charge.

Ewing had been scheduled to go on trial Monday in the attempted rape case. In exchange for the plea, charges of aggravated sexual battery and misdemeanor battery were dismissed.

In exchange for the plea in the sexual exploitation case, nine additional counts were dismissed.

Sentencing was set for November 15th.

In April, a jury acquitted him of charges that he raped and sodomized an underage girl.
