BELFAST — A 50-year-old Maine man is going to prison for 8 years for sexually assaulting a 6-year-old girl.

Alfred Seekins, of Dixmont, was sentenced Friday in Waldo County Superior Court in Belfast.

He received an 18-year-sentence, but 10 of those years were suspended as part of a plea agreement that spared the victim from testifying.

Seekins pleaded guilty to two counts of gross sexual assault, two counts of unlawful sexual contact and two counts of visual sexual aggression against a child.

The Bangor Daily News reported that Seekins, who had a close relationship with one of the girl’s family members, assaulted the girl in Brooks and in Dixmont.
