What We Know: A man from Polk County will spend 10 years in prison in connection with the 2021 death of his 13-year-old child.

What It Means: Court records show Kevin Ashlock was sentenced Friday after entering an Alford plea to involuntary manslaughter. That means he did not admit guilt but acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him.

What’s Next: Investigators say Ashlock and Ashley Cameron failed to get medical care for the child for a treatable disease.

Cameron is scheduled to return to court in October.
