Tom Payne, a former University of Kentucky and Atlanta Hawk basketball player, has been convicted in the Valentine’s Day rape of a 27-year-old woman near her Hollywood apartment last year.

Payne, 35, now a professional boxer, remains in jail pending sentencing, which was set for Dec. 8 in Los Angeles Superior Court by Judge Robert Roberson Jr. Payne faces up to 28 years in prison and also the possibility of serving more time in Kentucky, which paroled him from a life sentence for rape in 1983.
