The incidents occurred over three years starting in 2006, when the victim, a stepdaughter at the time, was 8 years old, court records indicate.

The defendant was ordered to pay court costs, comply with Sexual Offender Registry guidelines, have no unsupervised contact with any child under 18 and remain on community supervision for life.

He was also ordered to pay $14,883 in court costs.

The News Sentinel doesn't identify sex crime victims, and naming the defendant could do so. The man has been in the Anderson County Jail since April 2009.
