Kansas man sentenced in sexual assault of two runaways

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man who was convicted of sexually assaulting two runaway girls in 2015 has been sentenced to more than 27 years in prison.

Jordan Lewis, 40, Wichita, was sentenced Dec. 21 in Sedgwick County District Court. He was found guilty on several charges, including aggravated indecent liberties with a child and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Prosecutors say Lewis offered a ride in November 2015 to two teenage girls who’d run away from a group home before he pulled a gun on them. Prosecutors say he drove the girls to a house, where he and another man sexually assaulted them.

Court records show 54-year-old Roderick Martin is also charged in the case. His trial on aggravated human trafficking and rape charges is set for February.
