(KNZA)--A Horton man convicted on sex crimes involving an adult female has been sentenced to ten years in prison.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 26-year-old Cody Ptomey was handed the sentence Monday in Brown County District Court on charges of rape and aggravated sexual battery.
He pleaded no contest to the charges last November.
During the sentencing hearing, Hill said Ptomey presented testimony from a clinical psychiatrist in Kansas City and requested a sentence of 80 months in prison.
He said the state countered that Ptomey- acts were extremely violent and that it merited significantly more prison time than the 80 months being recommended by Ptomey and his legal counsel.
In the end, after hearing about the impact Ptomey- crimes had on the victim, Hill said the District Court agreed that Ptomey- actions merited a significantly higher sentence and imposed a sentence of 120 months in prison.
Ptomey was remanded to the Brown County Jail to be delivered to the Kansas Department of Corrections to begin serving his prison sentence.
After being released from prison, Ptomey will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and be placed on lifetime post release supervision with the Department of Corrections.
