(KMZA)--A former Marysville High School teacher and coach has been sentenced to more than 2 ½ years in prison on a child sex charge.
The Butler County Times-Gazette reports Mike Melcher was sentenced in Butler County District Court to 32-months in prison on one count of sexual exploitation of a child.
Melcher will be required to register as a sex offender for 25 years upon his release from prison.
He pleaded guilty to the charge in March as part of a plea agreement. He had originally been charged with aggravated indecent liberties with a child and solicitation of a child.
Melcher was arrested last October following an investigation by the El Dorado Police Department.
At the time of his arrest, he was a special education teacher and coach at El Dorado High School.
Melcher served as a special education teacher and varsity basketball coach at Marysville High School from 2008 to 2014.
