(KNZA)--A Holton man will spend the next decade behind bars after being convicted of sex crimes involving children.

According to Jackson County District Court documents, 23-year-old Quo-Jon Tye was sentenced last Friday to two consecutive 61-month prison terms on two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.  He also received a 34-month sentence for attempted aggravated indecent liberties with a child. That sentence will run concurrently with the two longer terms.  

Tye pleaded guilty in December after the original complaint was amended. In exchange for his plea, three counts of rape were dismissed.  

He was arrested in May of 2025 following an investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office and was initially charged as a juvenile. The case was later transferred to adult court in December.  

Tye was given credit for time served. He will also be subject to lifetime post-release supervision and lifetime sex offender registration.
