SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - An Elkton man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sexual contact with a child.

The Argus Leader reports Jose Alfredo Salinas-Gamez, 40, pleaded no contest in September to sexual contact with a child under the age of 16.

According to court documents, Gamez engaged in sexual contact with a 12-year-old victim between July 2011 to July 2012. Gamez will get credit for the 309 days already served from the time of his sentencing on Dec. 22, according to court documents.



Along with the 10-year sentence in a state penitentiary, Gamez will pay court fines of $500 and $1,800 for a psychosexual assessment and must comply with all sex offender requirements.
