Koskan sentenced to 10 years for incest charges.

Former South Dakota state senate candidate Joel Koskan has been sentenced to ten years in state prison on two charges of incest. Koskan had initially reached a highly criticized plea agreement with the state that would not have required him to serve any prison time, nor register as a sex offender. Judge Margo Northup rejected that plea agreement last month. Now, Koskan will have to both serve prison time, and register as a sex offender upon reentering society. The victim provided a victim impact statement to the court during the proceedings.
