A McCook man charged with rape in the case of two young Nebraska girls prostituted by their mother has been given jail time and probation.

Logan Roepke, 22, was sentenced in Buffalo County District Court to six months in jail and placed on five years of probation for felony First-Degree Sexual Assault of a 14-year-old girl.

During his sentencing, Roepke apologized to his family, the victim and the court and said the crime for which he has been convicted is out of character, and took full responsibility for the crime.

Roepke is one of six men charged in the prostitution cases centered on a Nebraska woman who received 170 years in prison for prostituting her 7 and 14-year-old daughters.

District Court Judge John Icenogle gave Roepke one day credit for time served.  With “good time,” he could be released after just 104 days.   The conditions of his probation state the he must complete a sex offender counseling program, group counseling, individual or family counseling and attend classes on peer relationships.

Roepke faced anywhere from one to 50 years in prison.

The cases of the other men facing charges are still pending in Buffalo and Franklin counties.

The Post has chosen not to give the name of the mother involved in order to protect the privacy of the two young girls.
