LEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) - A central Nebraska man caught in the act by sheriff's deputies of raping a woman has pleaded no contest to first-degree sexual assault and other charges.
Court records show David Boyles, 56, of Mason City, also pleaded no contest in Dawson County to violating a domestic protection order, the Kearney Hub reported. In exchange for his pleas, burglary and criminal mischief charges were dropped.
Boyles faces up to 51 years in prison when he's sentenced May 4.
Court records say deputies were called to the victim's home on Oct. 12 on reports of a man assaulting a woman. Arriving deputies found a front window broken out and heard a woman screaming inside. Deputies rushed into the house and found Boyles on top of the woman, raping her and he initially refused to stop when ordered to move away from her. He didn't comply until threatened with a stun gun, deputies said.
Deputies reported that Boyles appeared to be intoxicated when he was arrested. Prosecutors say the victim had a protection order against Boyles.
