That’s the sentence handed down in Doniphan County District court to the Atchison man found guilty of eight sex-related charges.

Heath Umphenhour was sentenced to one count of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, one count of aggravated criminal sodomy and two counts of sexual exploitation of a child.

He’ll also serve 34 months each for two counts of sexual exploitation of a child. Lastly, he’ll serve nine months each on two breech of privacy charges.

Umphenhour will also have to register as a sex-offender for life and have supervised probation for life.

He’ll be eligible for parole in just under 30 years.
