A South Carolina man convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Fremont in 2008 has been sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison.

30 year old Joshua Keadle was sentenced for first-degree sexual assault on Tuesday in Dodge County District Court. A jury last month rejected Keadle's impotence defense and found him guilty of assaulting the girl in a college residence hall.

Keadle sought a new trial, which the judge rejected on Tuesday. Keadle was a student at what was then Midland Lutheran College. His accuser, now 18, didn't report the crime until 2011, after Keadle was questioned in the disappearance of  Peru State College student Tyler Thomas in December 2010.

No charges have been filed against Keadle in that case.
