(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man has been convicted on a pair of child sex charges.

Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said 36-year-old Terance Dozier, Jr., entered a plea to two counts of aggravated criminal sodomy as part of a plea agreement.

Dozier was arrested by the Leavenworth Police Department in March after an investigation in which it was reported he had molested two children when they were about 8 and 9 years old, with the abuse continuing over several years.

Thompson said the initial disclosure of the abuse was made to a school counselor who notified authorities.

According to the plea agreement, Dozier is expected to serve 29 or 26 years in prison, and will be required to register as a sex offender.
