A man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexually abusing a girl for four years.

Court documents say 52-year-old Mark Ruggles of Willard pleaded guilty to first-degree sodomy under a plea agreement.

A probable cause statement says that a woman contacted the Willard Police Department to report that Ruggles molested her when she was in her teens.

Under the plea agreement, additional sodomy and rape charges were dropped.
