(KMZA)--A Blue Rapids man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on a child porn charge.
According to court documents, 32-year-old David Hobbs II was handed the sentence last week in Nemaha County District Court on a charge of sexual exploitation of a child.
Hobbs received the maximum sentence possible after he was found to be an aggravated habitual sex offender.
According to the criminal complaint, in August 2023, he was found in possession of a visual depiction of child under 18 years of age shown engaging in sexually explicit conduct.
Hobbs was charged in April of this year following an investigation by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Following sentencing, he was remanded to the Nemaha County Jail to await transport to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
