WINSLOW, Ariz. (AP) — A former Winslow High School wrestling coach has been sentenced to six years in prison after pleading guilty to a sex crime involving a minor child, authorities said.
Navajo County prosecutors said 40-year-old Daniel Scott Larsen was also sentenced last week to 15 years of probation on sex offender terms.
They said Larsen admitted to sexually abusing a high school student since the victim was 15 years old.
“These crimes were committed over decades and affected children ages 5 to 15 when the abuse of each of the four minor victims began.” County Attorney Brad Carrion said in a statement.
Larsen was indicted last October on more than 20 counts of various sex crimes, mostly dating from the 1990s.
He pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual conduct with a minor, attempted sexual conduct with a minor, and public molestation of a minor.
Prosecutors said Larsen would have to serve a prison sentence, be placed on 15 years of probation, register as a sex offender, and perform 300 hours of community service.
