Man Convicted Of Raping Lincoln Woman In Her Home

A 51-year-old man has been convicted of raping a Lincoln woman in her home.

The jury returned with a guilty verdict for Mark Filholm after less than four hours of deliberation on Thursday. Filholm faces up to 50 years when he's sentenced on Aug. 7.

Prosecutors say Filholm entered the woman's home early on June 25 last year, raped the woman and then tried to destroy evidence by forcing her to take a shower.

The woman told police the Filholm's face was covered by a blanket when he raped her, but she recognized his voice because she'd known him for several years.
