TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) -- A circuit judge has sentenced a Sylacauga man to two consecutive life sentences plus 99 years in prison for sodomy, rape and sex abuse of a child.
A jury convicted 46-year-old John Steven Absher in April. Authorities said the 3-year-old victim suffered serious physical injuries in the assault and required reconstructive surgery.
The child's mother had left her with Absher for a few hours in December 2006 when the assault occurred.
