OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha man will spend at least 11 years in prison for the February 2014 rape of a 16-year-old girl.
The Omaha World-Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1Sd0TBO ) that Douglas County District Judge Greg Schatz sentenced 20-year-old Javohn Templeman to 22 to 25 years in prison, which is cut in half under state sentencing guidelines.
Another man, 20-year-old Nicholas Bregg, pleaded no contest to second-degree sexual assault and will be in prison four-and-a-half to five years.
Authorities believe the girl was drugged at a party, and that Templeman and Bregg sexually assaulted her after she was unconscious.
Prosecutors offered both men deals because of concerns about how the case was handled. The defendants weren't arrested until nearly a year afterward despite tests that showed their DNA inside the victim.
