(KAIR)--A Leavenworth woman, convicted of raping a 16-month-old child, will spend the rest of her life behind bars.
41-year-old Mahogany Payne learned her Friday in Leavenworth Country District Court.
According to a news release issued by County Attorney Todd Thompson, it will be 25-years before Payne is eligible for parole.
During the sentencing, a supporter of Payne was removed following a courtroom outburst. That came the same day that another of Payne's supporters plead no contest to disorderly conduct for causing a courtroom outburst on November 8.
The Leavenworth County Attorney’s Office filed charges following two incidents involving two separate victims at Payne's Leavenworth home.
On January 12, 2016, Payne was babysitting a 16-month-old girl when the rape occurred.
In October, a jury found Payne guilty of the crime, but acquitted her of the allegation involving a 5-year-old.
Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, in the news release, said that while he's seen many cases, he “can't think of many worse than this.”
Payne has a prior conviction for felony child abuse that occurred in 1999 in Sedgwick County.
