A former Hudson doctor has been sentenced to prison for the rape of a young woman, Summit County Prosecutor Elliot Kolkovich said Tuesday.

Mahmud Kara, 58, of Hudson, was found guilty by a Summit County jury and must register as a Tier III sex offender.

The sentencing came after Mahmud Kara was found guilty of rape and sexual battery by a Summit County jury in December 2024.

Mahmud Kara must also register as a Tier III sex offender every 90 days for the rest of his life upon release from prison.

A 58-year-old Hudson man who was sentenced to prison for an April 2023 rape must also register as a sex offender.
