A former Idaho lawmaker who was convicted in April of raping a legislative intern when she was 19 was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Wednesday.

Aaron von Ehlinger was sentenced by Ada County District Judge Micheal Reardon, who stated that at least eight of those 20 years need to be served in prison before he is eligible for parole. The other 12 years could be spent in prison, on parole, or both.
