A Struthers man is going to prison for molesting an 8-year-old child and when he gets out he must register as a sex offender.

Twenty-six-year-old Anthony Linzey was sentenced to four years in prison on Wednesday.

Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Anthony D'Onofrio also ordered Linzey to register as a Tier Two sex offender.

When Linzey completes his sentence, he'll be required to register his address with law enforcement officials every six months for 25 years.

Linzey was convicted of gross sexual imposition in January.

An indictment handed up in June accused Linzey of having sexual contact with an 8-year-old child last March.
