MUNCIE — A Delaware County man was sentenced to 145 years in prison for child molestation, prosecutors have announced.

Prosecutors recommended a sentence of 162 years.
During sentencing, Delaware Circuit Court Judge Marianne Vorhees said the victims "have suffered long-term and significant harm at the hands of the defendant," according to the Delaware County Prosecutor's Office.
