10 years in prison.

That’s the sentence handed down to the Lancaster man who pled guilty to two counts of indecent liberties with a child under the age of 14.

59-year-old William Huckaby was sentenced in Atchison County District Court Monday on the charges stemming from crimes that occurred between Jan 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2013.

Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie told MSC News the victim was 7-9-years-old at the time when the crimes occurred. An investigation was launched back in Aug. 14 of this year after his office was informed on the crimes. Huckaby turned himself into the sheriff’s office Aug. 15.
