Lincoln, NE (AP) - A Lincoln man convicted of raping a woman during a home invasion in April 2009 has been sentenced to 80 to 140 years in prison.

The Lincoln Journal Star says 32-year-old Armon Dixon was sentenced for sexual assault, robbery and a weapons charge on Wednesday in Lancaster County District Court.

He was convicted in February of pushing his way into an apartment in Lincoln, pulling a gun on the woman and assaulting her while her son was in a room down the hall.

The sentence is in addition to a 70- to 120-year term he's already serving for robbing a Lincoln convenience store and raping a clerk in March 2009.
