SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — A Scottsbluff man has been sentenced to up to three years in prison for texting nude photos of himself to a 15-year-old girl.

34-year-old William Pritchard was sentenced Wednesday to 20 to 40 months in prison on a charge of enticing a minor with an electronic device.

Authorities say a woman found messages on her daughter’s phone in April from Pritchard. The girl told authorities Pritchard texted her while she was in school.

Authorities say they recovered nude pictures of Pritchard that he had deleted from his cellphone.
