SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Salem man was sentenced to 30 years and 10 months in prison this week for sexually abusing — and recording the abuse of — a girl under the age 12.

Joseph Dean Ohrmund, 34, pleaded guilty to sodomy and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct, the Statesman Journal reported.

Ohrmund was arrested in 2018 by Salem police on two counts of first-degree rape, two counts of first-degree sodomy and using a child in a display of sexually explicit conduct. All the charges were connected to a single victim known to Ohrmund.

The abuse occurred between January 2018 and September 2018.

Under Oregon law, Ohrmund will not be eligible for early release or work release for the entirety of his sentence.
