NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – A North Platte man has been sentenced to five years in prison for molesting a 12-year-old girl.
Forty-one-year-old Dean Hackbart was arrested in June. He pleaded no contest to sexual assault of a child, and was sentenced on Monday in Lincoln County District Court.
Prosecutors say given Hackbart’s criminal record, prison was the only choice the judge could make. Hackbart’s record includes eight probations and a prison sentence for arson.
The judge ordered that Hackbart’s latest sentence begin after his arson sentence.
