An Alabama man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for repeated sexual abuse of a girl over a 10-year span.

Herbert Writesman, 72, was sentenced Wednesday on over 30 counts of sex crimes including first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, sexual abuse of a child under the age of 12 and enticing a child to enter any place for immoral purposes.
