(KNZA)--A Fairview man has pleaded no contest to two " Jessica's Law" counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill said 45-year-old Darin Lierz entered the plea Wednesday in Brown County District Court.

Sentencing was scheduled for April 24.

Hill said the charges arose out of criminal conduct against a 4-year-old child.

The case was investigated by the Brown County Sheriff- Office with a forensic interview by investigators with the Kansas Department of Children and Families.

Lierz was arrested last September.

Under Jessica's Law, Hill said Lierz faces a sentence of life in prison with a mandatory minimum term of not less than 25 years before he is eligible for parole. He is also subject to lifetime registration as a sexual offender.

Lierz bond was revoked. He remains in the Brown County Jail.
