LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A 26-year-old man who was involved with Lincoln youth groups has been given three-to-six years in prison for having sex with an underage girl.
Curtis Green had pleaded no contest to sexual assault.  The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Green was sentenced on Wednesday.  Prosecutors say Green met the 15-year-old girl online.  State law prohibits people 19 or older from having sex with anyone under 16 years old.  Green’s attorney said before sentencing that Green didn’t have a significant criminal history but did have letters of support from the community and had worked with youth programs. Miner sought probation for his client.  Judge Jodi Nelson rejected the idea of probation, saying he “didn’t hear one ounce of responsibility taken by Mr. Green at
this juncture.”
