A man who sexually abused a girl was sentenced to more than six years in prison last week in Linn County Circuit Court.
Donald Burl Totton, 42, pleaded no contest to a charge of first-degree sexual abuse on Tuesday.
Per terms of a plea deal, a charge of first-degree unlawful sexual penetration was dismissed.
The crime occurred in March 2019, and the victim was under the age of 12, according to court paperwork.
The Linn County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case and Totton was arrested and arraigned in court in July.
