(KNZA)--A Horton man has been sentenced to life in prison on a child sex charge.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 47-year-old Richard VanLaningham was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court following his conviction on one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
As a Jessica- Law offense, VanLaningham must serve a mandatory minimum term of not less than 25 years in prison before he is eligible for release on parole.
He pleaded no contest to the felony charge last month.
The case involved criminal conduct against an 11-year-old child.
VanLaningham was charged following an investigation by the Brown County Sheriff's Office and a forensic interview by an investigator with the Kansas Department for Children and Families.
