Chris Lehman, who used to work at KPAM, was sentenced Tuesday.

Lehman was found guilty in September on charges that were Measure 11 crimes, which meant he faced at least six years in prison.

Washington County deputies arrested Lehman last November after one of his young relatives, a boy under 14 years of age, told a family friend that Lehman abused him.

Lehman's wife, Stephanie, was sentenced in September to two days in jail for giving marijuana to the same underaged relative.

The abuse happened over a period of more than four years.
