(KNZA)--A Sabetha man has entered a plea in a child sex case.

Nemaha County Attorney Brad Lippert says 42-year-old Kevin Devore pleaded no contest Thursday in Nemaha County District Court to one count of aggravated criminal sodomy.

In exchange for the plea, a charge of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child was dismissed.

Sentencing was set for March 9.

Devore was arrested last July on a Nemaha County warrant for alleged sex crimes occurring on or between April 1, 2021 and November 4, 2021 involving a child under 14 years of age.

The case was investigated by the Sabetha Police Department.

Devore remains in the Nemaha County Jail, held on a $500,000 bond.
