SD woman accused of raping teen gets 10 years
• RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -- A 29-year-old Rapid City woman accused of raping a 14-year-old boy and videotaping the acts has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
• April Solles in August pleaded guilty but mentally ill to charges of sexual contact with a minor and rape. Prosecutors in return dropped a child pornography charge. She must serve half of her sentence before becoming eligible for parole.
• The case started unfolding late in 2011 when Solles' 1-year-old girl died of a head injury. A 14-year-old boy was charged with murder in juvenile court but authorities have not said if he is the same boy in the rape case.
• The Rapid City Journal reports that defense attorney Paul Winter called the case a "tragedy wrapped around a tragedy."
