NORWICH – Jason Heisler, 35, Oxford, who pleaded guilty to first degree sexual abuse and second degree criminal sexual act, both class D felonies earlier this month, was sentenced to ten years in state prison Friday.

Two weeks have passed since the court accepted the defendant’s plea and in that time, the proper paperwork had to be completed before sentencing.

At sentencing, Supreme Court Judge Kevin M. Dowd allowed the defendant to speak on his own behalf.
