GERING, Neb. (AP) — A teenager accused of secretly recording activity in the girls locker room at Gering High School has been sentenced to probation until he’s an adult.

The judge told the 16-year-old boy at his sentencing Tuesday that he also must terminate his social media accounts, undergo family and individual therapy, drug testing and GPS tracking and must write a letter of apology to students and their parents.

The boy had entered the juvenile court equivalent of a guilty plea to a misdemeanor count of unlawful intrusion and three counts of felony unlawful intrusion by photograph. Prosecutors dropped the remaining 36 counts in return for the boy’s pleas.

A court document says the recordings showed the girls “in a state of undress.”

The Associated Press generally doesn’t name juveniles accused of crimes.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services officials have revealed a billing problem that could cost the state up to $32 million.

The issue stems from changes made two years ago in how providers are paid for serving residents with developmental disabilities.

The changes put Nebraska at odds with federal Medicaid regulations, which means the state could have to repay millions of dollars. The exact total isn’t known yet.

Department spokeswoman Leah Bucco-White says it’s working closely with developmental disabilities service providers and the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to begin a claims review of services provided within the Home and Community-Based Services waiver program, which is paid with both federal and state funds.

Bucco-White says the review is expected to take a couple of months.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Activists who want to end beer sales in a Nebraska village on the border of the alcohol-ravaged Pine Ridge Indian Reservation are criticizing state officials for accepting political contributions from the alcohol industry.

The activists on Tuesday assailed lawmakers and State Auditor Charlie Janssen, whose office recently audited a nonprofit that has helped raise awareness about Whiteclay’s beer sales.

The town’s four beer stores sold the equivalent of 3.5 million cans of beer last year on the border of the South Dakota reservation, where alcohol is banned.

Janssen says the audit of Project Extra Mile was based on several anonymous tips that questioned the group’s spending and wasn’t politically motivated. Beer industry groups contributed $1,000 to Janssen’s campaign for auditor and $7,950 during his six years in the Legislature.

DETROIT (AP) — Highway gas mileage estimates for about a third of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. will fall by one mile per gallon because the government has changed the way it calculates the window sticker numbers.

The change begins with the 2017 model year. It’s largely because people are loading up cars with more options such as heated seats that use electricity and create drag on engines. The Environmental Protection Agency also says drivers run air conditioning more often than in the past, and they’re driving faster, both of which cut into mileage.

Initially the change could make it hard for buyers to compare mileage from one model year to the next. But the EPA says it will update numbers on its website in the next few weeks.

ATLANTA (AP) — Federal prosecutors in Alabama say a former Verizon Wireless technician used the company’s computers to obtain customers’ private call records — plus data showing where customers’ phones were — and sold them to an unnamed private investigator.

Newly filed court records accuse Daniel Eugene Traeger of selling the confidential information for more than four years, from 2009 to 2014. Traeger worked in the Birmingham area.

The court records don’t say how many customer records were sold, or how they may have been used.

Prosecutors say that shortly after the charges were filed last week, Traeger pleaded guilty to a felony count of unauthorized access to a protected computer as part of a plea deal. His lawyer didn’t immediately return a phone message Monday.
