DARLINGTON, South Carolina (AP) -- The mother of a teenage girl who was kidnapped, raped and locked up in a crypt-like space says the accused "needs to be locked up in a hole" for the rest of his life. South Carolina prosecutors say they will seek life without parole for Kenneth Hinson, a 48-year-old convicted sex offender who is accused of assaulting two girls.
Authorities say Hinson kept the girls in an underground room under a shed behind his home.
The girls were bound but managed to free themselves and escape.
Hinson was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1991 and released from prison in 2000.
At that time, prosecutors sought to commit him indefinitely as someone who could re-offend. But Circuit Judge Edward Cottingham said prosecutors "failed to demonstrate" that Hinson could commit a future sex crime, and released him.
Cottingham presided over Hinson's preliminary hearing Thursday and has said he doesn't remember the case.
