This week, a man has been sentenced to 140 years behind bars after raping a jogger and a 9-year-old girl and then attempting to place the blame on his twin brother, says the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, reports NBC News. 

Kevin Konther and his twin brother were the focal point of an investigation after Genealogy technology geared officials to them back in 2019 making them key suspects in the assaults that occurred decades ago. Officials say one assault happened in 1995, while the other one took place in 1998. 

The office said,

“Identical twins share the same DNA, but conversations covertly recorded between the two brothers following their arrests revealed multiple incriminating statements made by Kevin Konther, including admissions that he carried out the crimes.” 

Although Konther’s brother wasn’t convicted or charged, he appeared to be surprised by his brother’s actions and the allegations that were made. 

The 58-year-old man was sentenced to 140 to life behind bars. He was convicted back in February

“of two counts of forcible rape and other charges, one of which dealt with the molestation of a third victim, the 12-year-old daughter of a former girlfriend,”

per NBC News. 

Back in 1995, Konther raped a minor as she walked to her home. Reports say the 9-year-old was held at knifepoint during the unfortunate encounter. While in 1998, he raped a woman, 32, after jumping out of the bushes while she jogged.
