Man sentenced in sex assault

LINCOLN — A Lincoln man has been sentenced to four to eight years in prison on charges of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in 2009.

Tyronn Bluford, 36, will also be placed on Nebraska’s sex offender registry.

Police said Bluford met the boy on a social networking site.

Police said the boy told a counselor he first had sexual relations with Bluford when he was 13.

In court records, the teenager said Bluford bought him a bottle of vodka as payment for sex.

Bluford told police he thought the boy was 18. He later pleaded no contest to attempted sexual assault in the first degree. — AP
