BEND, Ore. (AP) - A Redmond man accused of sexually abusing a child for more than four years has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Cody Owen Hough-Nielsen, 31, was in court Tuesday for sentencing after previously entering an Alford plea on two counts of first-degree sex abuse and one of coercion. Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but acknowledges prosecutors have enough evidence for a conviction.
Hough-Nielsen was arrested in September 2018 after a girl who lived with him told police he had abused her numerous times from 2014 into 2018, while she was younger than 11, prosecutor Stacy Neil told the court.
