A failed South Dakota House candidate made his initial appearance in court Tuesday on a charge of second-degree rape. Bud Marty May, 37, of Kyle, was first arrested on Nov. 13 on one count of second-degree rape, a class 1 felony that could carry up to 50 years in prison and would have May pay up to a $50,000 fine.
