A man has been sentenced after he sexually abused a child in Laurel.

The Delaware Department of Justice says on Friday,  25-year-old John Young, of Bridgeville, was sentenced to 25 years in prison after entering a guilty plea. Authorities say Young pleaded guilty to the charges of rape second degree and contempt of court.  

In January 2018, Young performed oral sex on a 7-year-old girl and violated a no contact order that had been imposed by the court.

He will be on probation for 15 years after his prison sentence. The Bridgeville man is also required to register as a Tier III sex offender for the rest of his life.
