A man acquitted last year of charges he raped two girls in an underground dungeon has been sentenced to 25 years on a federal gun charge.
A U.S. District Court judge in South Carolina said Kenneth Glenn Hinson's criminal history led to the lengthy sentence on a charge of being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Authorities said they found the 49-year-old man with a gun when he was arrested in 2006.
Two teenage girls had said Hinson raped them in an underground room behind his home and left them for dead.
He was acquitted last year on those charges.
Hinson previously served nine years in prison for raping a 12-year-old girl.

Carbohydrates don't just screw up your blood-sugar: they release free radicals that kill appetite-suppressing cells. The research is from a Nature article by Dr Zane Andrews, a neuroendocrinologist with Monash University's Department of Physiology.
"The more carbs and sugars you eat, the more your appetite-control cells are damaged, and potentially you consume more," Dr Andrews said.Killer Carbs: Scientist Finds Key To Overeating As We AgeDr Andrews said the attack on appetite suppressing cells creates a cellular imbalance between our need to eat and the message to the brain to stop eating.
"People in the age group of 25 to 50 are most at risk. The neurons that tell people in the crucial age range not to over-eat are being killed-off.
Thought for the Day
Hard work spotlights the character of people;
some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.
