A Columbus man has been sentenced to over 20 years in prison. 65-year-old Kenneth Webber Jr was sentenced to 257 months imprisonment in Cherokee County District Court. The sentence came after Webber pled guilty on May 22 to rape, and two counts of aggravated incident liberties with a child less than 14 years old.
Webber has been held in the Cherokee County Jail since 2016, following an investigation by sheriff's detectives into his illegal sex crimes. Since his arrest, there have been numerous delays in court proceedings due to competency issues and changes of defense counsel.
