(KMZA)--A Sabetha man convicted on a pair of child sex charges has received two consecutive life sentences.

Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert says 27-year-old Eric Carlson was sentenced Thursday by District Judge Jim Patton on charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and sexual exploitation of a child.

Lippert says Carlson will not be eligible for parole on both convictions for at least 50 years.

If paroled, Carlson will be subject to lifetime post-release supervision with electronic monitoring and will also be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Carlson pleaded no contest to the charges in August. In exchange for the plea, an additional count of sexual exploitation of a child was dismissed.

The charges stem from sex offenses occurring in Nemaha County last year involving two children under the age of 14.

Carlson was arrested in May following an investigation by federal, state and local authorities.
