(KAIR)--An elderly Jefferson County man is going to prison in connection with sex crimes involving a child.

73-year-old Norman Bramlett was sentenced Thursday to nearly 6 ½ years behind bars on a charge of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.

Upon completion of his prison sentence, Bramlett will be subject to a lifetime of post-release supervision and must register as a sex offender.

Bramlett, a Grantville resident who was 70-years-old at the time of his arrest, entered a no contest plea to the felony charge in February.

He was arrested in July, 2013 in connection with the crime that investigators say happened at the beginning of that month, and involved a child under the age of 14.

At the time of his arrest, the victim was identified by authorities as a female who was known to Bramlett.
