A 39-year-old Kansas man was sentenced this month to more than 25 years in prison for raping a child in Ellis County.

According to court documents, Kenneth Geyer was arrested in January and charged with five counts of rape for assaulting a child under the age of 14 between May 2018 and December of 2020.

In September, Geyer pleaded no contest to two counts of rape and one count of aggravated criminal sodomy.

As a result of the plea agreement, Geyer was sentenced this month to 310-months in prison, according to Ellis County Attorney Robert Anderson.

Geyer will be subject to lifetime post-release and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
