A western Nebraska man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl.

Scotts Bluff County District Judge Leo Dobrovolny sentenced 51-year-old Robert Logan on Thursday.

Logan was found guilty of two counts of third-degree sexual assault of a child. Logan pleaded no contest to those reduced charges in July as part of a deal with prosecutors.

Prosecutors say Logan sexually assaulted the girl several times during the fall of 2011 on a couch in his home. Logan was arrested in February.

After his release, Logan will have to register as a sex offender.
