Former AWA wrestler Eugene "Buck" Zumhofe was sentenced yesterday to more than 25 years in prison on 12 counts of criminal sexual conduct. Zumhofe was charged for molesting his daughter hundreds of times while she lived with from 1999-2002, starting when she was 15 years-old.
Zumhofe, 63, will spend 310 months in prison on two first-degree and two third-degree counts of criminal sexual conduct. The sentences will be served consecutively, and he will have to to spend at least 17 years in prison before he's eligible for release. He also faces a felony charge for attempting to escape the courtroom after the verdict was read in March, before he was tackled and restrained.
Zumhofe is also required to serve a 10-year conditional release period, pay $200 in fines and register as a predatory offender.

The sentencing of former AWA star Buck Zumhofe for a number of counts of criminal sexual conduct is a major story in Minnesota today as it's been picked up by a number of mainstream media outlets in the State.
Some additional information from the reports add to what we reported last night about the sentencing:
*Zumhofe was sentenced to 310 months (over 25 years) in prison on two first-degree and two third-degree counts of criminal sexual conduct, so there were four counts that he was found guilty of, as opposed to the 12 he was brought up on charges for.
*Assistant County Attorney Aaron Welch asked the judge to double Zumhofe's sentence to 620 months (over 51 years) due to Zumhofe's previous criminal sexual conduct and the conviction the cruelty and multiple forms of sexual contact brought against the victim in his case, a family member. Welch described Zumhofe as having "no remorse" for the crimes, even after admitting they happened during a pre-sentence investigation. The judge declined to do so.
*Zumofe's attorney requested a stay in prison time and probation so he could receive treatment and counseling, something the presiding Judge shot down.
Zumhofe will be back in court today to be sentenced to a charge of escaping custody. While the version that has been stated previously is that Zumhofe attempted to escape while using a restroom, a version published today stated they he broke free of officers in a hallway while being escorted to a conference room to see his attorney - at which point he was tackled and taken into custody. It is expected that Zumhofe will be sentenced to an additional 4-10 years for that crime
