(KNZA)--A Holton man convicted on a pair of child sex-related charges involving a girl under the age of 14 has been placed on probation.

Jackson County Attorney Shawna Miller tells MSC News that 19-year-old Chaz Zibell was sentenced Friday to a total of 12 months in prison on two counts of felony lewd and lascivious behavior.  Miller says the sentence was suspended and he was placed on 24-months probation.

Zibell will be required to register as a sex offender for 15 years.

He pleaded no contest to the amended charges in April.  

Zibell had originally been charged with six counts of sexual exploitation of a child and one count of aggravated indecent solicitation of a child.

He was arrested last September following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department.
