MAPLETON, ND (KFGO-AM) -- A Mapleton man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the ongoing sexual abuse of a minor. Cordell Hipsak, 36, was arrested at his home last June. He changed his plea to guilty in Aug.
Hipsak, who knew the victim, will on probation for another 10 years following his release. Asst. Cass County State's Attorney Ryan Younggren says the abuse went on for about a year until the victim told her mother.
Deputies say Hipsak was unsure how many times that he'd raped the girl. She was 14 when she reported the abuse to her mother.
