HOLTON, Kan. (AP) — A 22-year-old northeast Kansas man whose case divided his hometown has been sentenced to more than 27 years in prison for raping two women.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Jacob Ewing of Holton was also sentenced 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.

Ewing earlier was acquitted of sexual assaulting a 13-year-old girl. He’s awaiting trial on charges that include attempted rape and sexual exploitation of a child.

The allegations divided Holton, where he was an athlete from a well-known family.

TOPEKA —An extreme and unusual fuel supply circumstance has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that could prevent the distribution of an adequate supply of gasoline to consumers in several states, including Kansas. On Sept. 1, Secretary of Agriculture Jackie McClaskey signed an order to assist in alleviating the anticipated shortage in fuel supplies throughout the region due to Hurricane Harvey.

The order will relax the enforcement of fuel standards related to the sale and distribution of gasoline during the transition period between summer and winter fuel this month. Gasoline meeting the EPA fuel standards of the order are permitted for immediate distribution in Kansas through Sept. 30, 2017.

The full order can be accessed at the Kansas Department of Agriculture
