HUTCHINSON — A Kansas man convicted of aggravated indecent liberties with a child was sentenced Friday to more than 15 years in prison.

David Baldwin, 34, Hutchinson, pleaded guilty to the single count in which he admits occurred some time between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30, 2012.

The case involves the inappropriate touching of a 7-year-old child.

The case fell under Jessica’s Law, meaning the sentencing called for a life with out parole for 25 years without parole.

However, as part of a plea agreement, both sides recommended a downward departure of the sentence.

Baldwin had pleaded no contest to the single county on January 9th.
