A Sedgwick County judge has given a Derby man eight life sentences for sexually assaulting two underage girls.
34-year-old Clinton Decaire was sentenced Friday in district court. Prosecutors said the crimes began in 2019 in Derby, and Decaire knew his two victims, who were six and eight years of age at the time. The youngest girl told her mother about the assaults, and she contacted Derby police.
A jury found Decaire guilty in September of a number of counts of rape and aggravated indecent liberties with a child. District Judge Jeffrey Syrios ordered five of the life sentences to run consecutive to each other for a total of 272 years in prison before Decaire would be eligible for parole.
