A Kennebunk man has been sentenced to five years in prison with all but 22 months suspended for sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl in April, according to WCSH-TV.
Prosecutors said Jeremy Link, who worked as a gymnastics coach, had sexual relations with the victim inside a darkened gym in Westbrook.
He will be on probation for two years following his release and must register as a lifetime sex offender under the sentence handed down in Cumberland County Superior Court in Portland on Thursday. He also was ordered not to have contact with the victim or minors while on probation.
