A Carmel man convicted in the April 2013 rape of a Ball State student was sentenced to 40 years in prison on March 8.
Aaron Jeffrey King, 26, was found guilty last November of rape, criminal deviate conduct, criminal confinement and strangulation. King — a former Ball State student and former running back for the football team — was accused of assaulting the woman in her Northwest-side apartment.

The victim — who had been King's girlfriend during their high school years — told police King had forced her to engage in various sex acts, bound her wrists with duct tape and choked her.
Judge John Feick, who ruled on the 40-year sentence, said King would be classified as a sexually violent predator and would remain on probation for the rest of his life upon his release from prison.
At sentencing, King expressed remorse for his actions, although his public defenders indicated he intended to appeal his convictions.
King was convicted of resisting law enforcement in Hamilton County in 2013 and has appeared in court for numerous other misdemeanors and citations since 2010.
