A former cop in Elwood and Wathena was sentenced for taking videos of young girls, in the nude or undressing.

Briant Vincent pleaded no-contest last month to sexual exploitation of a child and eavesdropping.

On Wednesday, a judge in Doniphan County, Kansas sentenced Vincent to 32 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections, but suspended that sentence.

The judge also ordered Vincent to serve one year on the misdemeanors. Sheriff Jerry Dubach says Vincent was given credit for time he’s already served. He’ll be released at the end of March next year.

Vincent was relieved of his law-enforcement duties in June 2011.
