Man Sentenced
In Rape Case

William E. Kyle of

40-year jail sentence in
Albemarle County Circuit
Court Jan. 12 for rape and
abduction of a first-year
woman last spring.

Kyle and George L. Jones
pulled the student off her
bicycle and into a car on
Observatory Mountain behind
Dobie House at about 10 p.m.
April 13 and then drove her to
the Greenwood section of
Albemarle County.

Kyle hit her on the head
with a bottle and both men
raped her, according to
testimony. She was then
returned to the Copeley Hill

Jones, pleading innocent,
received a 105-year sentence

testified against Jones. An
appeal of both men's sentences
is planned.
