Rapist gets 15 years
A Loudoun Circuit Court Jury returned a guilty verdict against a former Loudoun resident for raping a 12-year-old girl last summer in the Lovettsville area.
Kevin Marshall Payne, 29, is waiting in the Loudoun jail for Judge Carleton Penn to pass final sentencing in February. The judge may send Payne to prison for the full 15 years in prison, which the jury recommended.
Last summer Payne was living in Charles Town, W. Va., and operating a lawn care and maintenance business in the Loudoun area, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jack T. Sutor Jr. said.
Mr. Sutor, who tried the case, said that the victim went to one of Payne’s job sites near Lovettsville with a relative who worked for Payne.
No one else was present when Payne “talked her into going in the woods with him,” Mr. Sutor said.
The girl testified against Payne. Payne testified on his own behalf, as did two men who worked for him.
