Richard Dean McHenry

RENO COUNTY  —After two hours of deliberation Friday, a jury found a Kansas man guilty of two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy.

It was during that encounter where she was kicked and was forced to engage in a sexual act with him. She also claims it happened on another occasion. Both encounters were forced.

McHenry faces a maximum of 25 years in prison, according to District Attorney Keith Schroeder. After the conviction, his is bond was increased to $500,000 by District Judge Trish Rose. She set sentencing for Dec. 1.
