ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A northwestern New Mexico man faces 12½ years in prison after being sentenced on convictions for abusive sexual contact and kidnapping Navajo boys.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office says 68-year-old William Detwiler of Vanderwagen in southern McKinley County was sentenced Tuesday in federal court in Albuquerque.
The office says Detwiler pleaded guilty in 2016 to charges involving two children under age 16.
According to a sentencing document, Detwiler didn’t know the boys and offered them rides to school.
