HOLTON, Kan. (AP) - A 22-year-old Holton man has been sentenced to more than 27-years in prison for raping two women.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Jacob Ewing was also ordered Friday to pay more than $100,000 in restitution, and must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Ewing was convicted in June of raping and sodomizing one woman in 2016 and raping another in 2014. He was also convicted of battery, possession of drug paraphernalia and charges related to furnishing alcohol to minors as a result of the week-long trial.

Ewing continues to face additional penalties for his alleged sex crimes.

Ewing also faces a Jackson County jury trial in October on charges of attempted rape and aggravated sexual battery stemming from an alleged 2015 incident.

In addition, he faces a trial in November on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a child for allegedly possessing child pornography.

A jury in April acquitted Ewing on sex-related charges involving a 13-year-old girl.

In July, at the request of the prosecution, the judge dismissed charges of rape in two cases that Ewing had been scheduled to go to trial for in August.
