(AP) — A 40-year-old Grand Island man has been given six to eight years in prison for sexually assaulting his two stepdaughters.

The man was sentenced on Monday. The man had pleaded no contest to two counts. Another count was dropped in exchange for the man’s plea.

The Associated Press is not using the man’s name, in order to protect the girls’ privacy.

Prosecutors say the assaults began in 2008. One of the girls is 13 now; the other is 9.
