(KMZA)--A Bern man has been sentenced to more than 21 ½ years in prison on a pair of child sex charges.

Timothy Blocker was sentenced last week in Nemaha County District Court to 260 months in prison on charges of sexual exploitation of a child and aggravated incest.

He will required to register as a sex offender for 25 years following his release from prison.

Blocker pleaded no contest to the felony charges in December. In exchange for the plea, two additional counts—including rape—were dismissed.

He was arrested last November following an investigation by the Nemaha County Sheriff's Department.
