Las Cruces Man Sentenced For Raping Teenager

LAS CRUCES, N.M. —

A Dona Ana County judge has sentenced a Las Cruces man to 32 years in prison for raping his girlfriend's teenage daughter.

Authorities say 32-year-old Rodney Wayne Price could spend the rest of his life on parole as a registered sex offender after he is released from prison.

The Las Cruces Sun-News reports Price has been in jail since his arrest last November.

Price pleaded guilty to criminal sexual penetration, sexual contact, false imprisonment and one count of battery in January.

Prosecutors said the girl's mother did not believe her and even kicked her daughter out of the house.

The 15-year-old was placed in foster care and authorities say she has since been adopted.
