McALESTER A Wister man charged with raping and sodomizing a 5-year-old girl has been sentenced to one year in prison.
David Harold Earls pleaded no contest last week to charges of first-degree rape and forcible sodomy as part of a plea deal with prosecutors.
Prosecutors say they reached a plea bargain after consulting with the victim's family and out of concern about the 5-year-old's ability to testify in the case.
Under his conviction, the 64-year-old Earls will be required to register as a sex offender for life after his release from prison.
Earls' attorney could not be reached for comment.
