A Lane County man has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for sex crimes against a child.

In January, a federal jury convicted William Lance McGowan, 64, of Dighton, of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and aggravated solicitation of a child.  Prosecutors said the crimes happened between 2007 and 2009.

Friday, Judge Bruce T. Gatterman sentenced McGowan to 25 years to life under Jessica’s Law.

McGowan used to be the director of technology at Lane County Hospital.
