Man gets 45 years behind bars for rape of young girls

Posted:

A Rapid City man is sentenced to 45 years in prison for the rape of two young girls.  Michael Dahl, 56, pled guilty to one count of first degree rape in June. The state dropped a second count.


According to Deputy State's Attorney Scott Roetzel, Dahl raped the girls, ages 6 and 11, on multiple occasions.  Dahl asked the Judge for leniency and says he is remorseful for his actions.


Seventh Circuit Judge Mandel told Dahl that his actions were exceptionally troubling and said he has no choice but to give him a lengthy prison sentence.
 
Dahl had a prior conviction for a sex offense in 1992.   Judge Mandel says the previous offense weighed in Thursday's judgement.
