(AP) — A 42-year-old man has been given a year behind bars for molesting his girlfriend’s 10-year-old daughter at their Scotts Bluff County apartment in the Nebraska Panhandle.

Court documents say Anthony Arrellano had pleaded no contest and was convicted of sexual assault without consent, a misdemeanor. Prosecutors had reduced the charge from a felony in exchange for Arrellano’s plea. He was sentenced on Tuesday in Gering and given credit for 172 days already served.

Court documents say that in February and March, Arrellano inappropriately touched the girl and kissed her when her mother was a work.
