(AP) – A Topeka man who pleaded no contest to sexual exploitation of a child has been sentenced to more than six years in prison.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that 43-year-old Richard Lee Seastrom will also be placed on lifetime post-release supervision under the sentence he received Thursday in Shawnee County District Court.

Seastrom was arrested in January and charged with 43 counts of sexual crimes involving young children. His trial was under way last month when he pleaded no contest to 35 counts of child sexual exploitation.

Seastrom said during the trial that he didn’t want the jury to have to look at video footage that Judge Nancy Parrish called “horrible.”
