A judge has sentenced a Wyoming man to at least 48 years in prison after he sexually abused two adults and a 15-year-old girl.
KTWO-AM reported Thursday that 27-year-old Trae Derik Smith was sentenced Thursday after he pleaded guilty to abuse by sexual touching of a brain-injured vulnerable adult and sexual assault of a developmentally-disabled adult.
Officials say Smith also entered an Alford plea to sexual abuse of a minor.
An Alford plea allows a defendant to plead guilty without admitting a criminal act.
Authorities say the Casper Police Department began investigating the case in January after the 15-year-old girl told her mother Smith had raped her.
