SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) - A Sheboygan man who admitted having sex with a mentally disabled teen has been sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison.

Forty-4-year-old Juan Aguilar pleaded no contest in February to charges of exposing himself to a child and causing a child to view pornography.

The girl is 17, but court records say she has the mental capacity of a third- or fourth-grader.

Defense attorney Thomas Gerleman had asked the judge to sentence Aguilar to probation only. He said Aguilar had no criminal history and worked to send money to his family in Mexico.

Assistant district attorney Jim Haasch recommended two years in prison, saying the offense was too serious for just probation.

Sheboygan County Circuit Judge James Bolgert says he considered both Aguilar's character and the girl's condition when he levied the sentence.

The judge noted that Aguilar is an illegal immigrant who's expected to be deported at the end of his prison sentence.
