A Libby man who pleaded guilty to felony sexual assault against a victim under the age of 16 was sentenced to serve time in the Montana State Prison.

Robert William Emerick, 34, formerly of Anaconda, gave his plea Feb. 26 in Lincoln County District Court.

District Judge Matt Cuffe stuck with the terms of the plea deal between public defender Ben Kolter and County Attorney Marcia Boris. Emerick must serve 10 years, with six suspended. Emerick, who faced a maximum sentence of 100 years, remains in the Lincoln County Detention Center on $100,000 bail.
