Grandfather sentenced for sex assault
A 66-year-old Lincoln man was sentenced to prison Wednesday for sexually assaulting his granddaughter. The man, whose name is being withheld to protect the girl’s identity, was convicted of incest.
According to court records, the man subjected the pre-teen to sexual penetration. She told investigators last August the sexual contact occurred on several occasions, and he sometimes called her a prude when she asked him to stop, according to court records.
At his sentencing Wednesday, Lancaster County District Court Judge Jodi Nelson told him that, while he didn’t have any criminal record, he had taken advantage of a position of trust.
“Quite frankly, this is an offense that’s absolutely horrible,” she said.
Nelson gave him to two to five years in prison, ordered him to register as a sex offender and said he would be subject to lifetime community supervision when he gets out.
