KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A 36-year-old Raytown man was sentenced Wednesday to 24 years in prison for sexually abusing a child.
A jury convicted Jeremy Callihan, 36, of first-degree statutory sodomy and sexual misconduct with a child under 15 years-old.
Callihan received a 20-year sentence on the first charge and four years on the second charge.
A Jackson County judge ordered the sentences to run consecutively.
Callihan was convicted at trial in March and the jury recommended a 24-year sentence, which the judge accepted.
Raytown police investigated allegations that Callihan had sexual contact with the child in October 2019 at a residence in the city, which led to the charges.
