(KNZA)--A Hoyt man convicted on a pair of child sex charges has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years.

28-year-old Theodore Purdy was sentenced Friday in Jackson County District Court on charges of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Purdy was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life.

A Jackson County jury found him guilty on the charges in May following a one day trial.

Purdy was charged in connection with offenses involving a three-year-old girl occurring in September and October of 2016.
