Robert Norman Kennedy, 41, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 40 years in federal prison without parole.
The court also sentenced Kennedy to a lifetime of supervised release following incarceration.
Kennedy will be required to register as a sex offender upon his release from prison and will be subject to federal and state sex offender registration requirements, which may apply throughout his life.

The victim told investigators that Kennedy forced her to engage in sex and that he sexually abused her starting at age 10.
