A Youngstown man has been sentenced to five years in prison for sex crimes committed against a teenager in Weathersfield.

Brian Beatle Baldwin, 37, was arrested on Christmas Day by Weathersfield Police who say the offenses took place on Christmas Eve.

Originally charged under the Ohio law making it illegal to engage in sexual conduct with anyone aged 13 to fifteen, Baldwin pleaded guilty in March to six counts of sexual battery.

In addition to the prison sentence, Baldwin must register as a Tier Three Sex Offender.
