RICE COUNTY — A Kansas man was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for 25 years for sex crimes against children.

Jeffrey Dean Crenshaw, 43, Hutchinson, was found guilty in July by a Rice County jury of five counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child, one count of attempted aggravated criminal sodomy and one count of criminal sodomy of a person under 14 years of age.

The charges fall under Jessica’s Law because the victim was under 14 years of age. Judge Steven Johnson sentenced Crenshaw to life in prison.

The crimes were committed between February 2010 and February 2012. The charges stemmed from an investigation by the Lyons Police Department.
