A 21-year-old Bellevue man will spend at least 18 years in prison for using MySpace to meet and sexually assault teenage girls.
Spencer Osler-White, 1609 Hancock St., pleaded no contest to first-degree sexual assault of a minor, attempted first-degree sexual assault, first-offense sexual assault of a child and attempted third-degree sexual assault of a child.
Sarpy County District Court Judge David Arterburn on Monday sentenced Osler-White to 36 years to 66 years in prison. He was given credit for 328 days already served.
Under state sentencing guidelines, Osler-White will have to serve at least 18 years before he is eligible for parole.
Osler-White also faced charges of forcible first-degree sexual assault, third-degree sexual assault of a child and attempted third-degree assault of a child, but those were dropped.
More than a dozen girls came forward during the investigation, said Det. Craig Wiech of the Bellevue Police Department.
According to court documents, some of the charges involved at least three people younger than 16.
Wiech has said the some of the victims were between the ages of 13 and 17 at the time of the incidents, which he said occurred between 2005 and mid-2008. Investigators have said that up to three of the victims met Osler-White on MySpace, a popular social networking Web site.
