WARREN, Ohio -  A Newton Township man is going to prison for raping teenage boys.

Trumbull County Common Pleas Court Judge Andrew Logan on Tuesday handed down a 15-year sentence to 40-year-old Howard Lovett.

It was back in April that Lovett pleaded guilty to rape, unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, gross sexual imposition, and corrupting another with drugs.

According to an indictment, Lovett drugged and raped 15- and 16-year-old boys over a two-year period.

In addition to the sentence, Lovett has been declared a sex offender and will have to report his address when he completes his prison sentence.
