A Columbus man will serve 22 years in prison for committing two rapes in 1995. 53-year-old Dennis White was sentenced this week for raping two women who accepted rides from him. White was arrested in April of last year thanks to newly processed evidence from a backlog of rape kits. White claims he had consensual sex with the women in exchange for drugs. The state says it has tested more than 8 thousand previously unprocessed rape kits for possible DNA matches since 2011. A new law requires law enforcement agencies to submit any remaining untested kits to a crime lab within a year.
