PIERRE - A Pierre man who faces 10 counts of rape has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity.

Frank Hansell is being held on $100,000 bond and will undergo a court-ordered psychological evaluation.

The 36-year-old is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy who was incapable of consent.

The rapes allegedly took place last year.

Hughes County State's Attorney Kelly Marnette says there may be more victims.
