A La Salle man pleaded guilty Friday to having unlawful sexual contact with a 13-year-old girl.
Richard Lombardi, 30, received four years in prison as part of a plea deal.
Lombardi appeared in La Salle County Circuit Court and pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal sexual abuse, a Class 2 felony carrying a possible prison sentence to three to seven years.
Lombardi, who is eligible for day-for-day good time, declined an opportunity to address his judge before sentencing.
He had been charged following a La Salle police investigation launched when authorities were alerted to illicit contact.
