MANDAN, N.D. (AP) - A Mandan Lyft driver has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for sexually assaulting a rider.

A jury in January convicted 39-year-old Corey Wickham on two felony counts of sexual assault. A woman told police that Wickham picked her up from a bar last August and sexually assaulted her. He testified earlier that the woman consented to sex, though he acknowledged she was drunk.

The Bismarck Tribune reports that Wickham apologized to the victim during his sentencing hearing.
