LITTLE ROCK — The state Parole Board has recommended clemency for a man convicted in the 1985 kidnapping and rape of a Mills High School student.

Fred Roosevelt Dandridge, now 52, is serving a 182-year prison sentence at the state's Wrightsville Unit. A Pulaski County jury deliberated only an hour before convicted him of raping the student at gunpoint after she left the high school.

The student testified that Dandridge and another man returned to the school months later and again kidnapped her. The student said Dandridge held her down as the other man forced her into performing oral sex.
