Marty Anderson Jr. will spend the rest of his life in a Kansas Dept. of Corrections prison.
Last month, Anderson Jr., 36, was convicted of rape, attempted murder and other charges by a Cowley County jury. He was sentenced Monday in the Winfield courtroom of Judge Nick St. Peter.
He remains in the county jail.
In total, for all charges, St. Peter sentenced Anderson Jr. to more than 150 years in prison. One rape charge alone carried a sentence of 50 years, according to county attorney Larry Schwartz.
Schwartz said even with any good time credit, and some sentences running concurrently, Anderson Jr. will remain imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Anderson, Jr.had two cases consolidated for trial. One involved an incident at a residence northwest of Rock in which his former wife, Elizabeth Alberts, was shot. He also faced sexual assault charges in relation to the same incident.
A separate case involved multiple sexual assaults of a girl under 14.
The sexual assaults referenced in the second case were said to have occurred over the course of two years or more when the victim was 11 and 13.
Three of the sexual assault convictions against Anderson, Jr. qualified him for sentences of 25 years to life under Jessica’s Law, which is aimed at sexual offenders who target children. That law is named for Jessica Lunsford, a child from Florida, who was kidnapped, raped and murdered in the 1990s.
Anderson, Jr. was convicted of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, kidnapping, aggravated burglary and aggravated assault for the incident that occurred Nov. 8 and 9 at a home he had shared with his wife, Elizabeth and his two stepchildren.
Victims in the case addressed the court prior to Anderson, Jr.’s sentencing.
