ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) – A 28-year-old Navajo man has been sentenced to 92 months in prison in a child sex case.

U.S. District Judge M. Christina Armijo handed down the sentence Feb. 17 against Gordon Nez, followed by five years of supervised release. Nez also must register as a sex offender.

Prosecutors say Nez pleaded guilty to abusive sexual contact as part of a plea deal.

The charge stems from a June 2006 incident involving a girl under the age of 12 who was under his care.
