RENO COUNTY– A Kansas man convicted of stealing money from a manufacturing company in Haven which led to another charge including sexual exploitation of a child was sentenced Friday.

Norman Perser, 55, Hutchinson, was given a total of three years and two months in prison for the two charges, but then granted three years community corrections.

He had entered a plea agreement to the two charges while two other charges of unlawful computer acts and theft were dismissed.

The state alleged that between Dec. 19, 2013 and Sept. 17, 2014, Perser was stealing thousands of dollars from Kincaid Equipment Manufacturing in Haven.

As investigators looked further at his computer, they allegedly discovered images of child pornography.

The court will decide restitution at a later date.

Perser also is required to register as a sex offender for the next 25-years.
