(AP) – A 28-year-old Salina man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading no contest to charges accusing him of raping a 12-year-old girl.

The Salina Journal reports that Eric T. Taylor pleaded no contest to one count of rape. He was sentenced Thursday.

Saline County District Court Judge Jerome Hellmer also ordered Taylor to register as a sex offender for life and be subject to lifetime post-release supervision.
