BUCHANAN COUNTY, Mo. — A Kansas man has been sentenced prison after being convicted of sexually abusing two minor children.

Cody Curry, 31, Olathe, was sentenced Friday for crimes he committed against a child victim, according to a media release from the Buchanan County prosecuting attorney.

During the sentencing hearing, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Kristina Zeit argued for Curry to receive a sentence of 75 years in prison.

In October, Curry was found guilty of statutory sodomy in the first degree after the state presented evidence from thirteen witnesses, including two child victims who described the abuse Cody Curry had inflicted upon them.

Both victims were present for the sentencing, along with their families. Buchanan County Circuit Court Judge Robb sentenced the defendant to 22 years in prison.
